4. SOUNDBITE (English) Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary-General:
“Paris must provide a comprehensive, long-term vision of the opportunities created by low-emission, climate-resilient development. The agreement must send a clear signal to the private sector that the low-carbon transformation of the global economy is inevitable, beneficial, and already under way. It must help accelerate investments in clean energy and spur a global, low-carbon transformation well before the end of the century that is consistent with a below 2 degrees Celsius pathway.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary-General:
“A Paris agreement must not lock in a level of mitigation ambition that undermines the below 2 degrees goal. There can be no backsliding. Current ambition must be the floor, not the ceiling, for future efforts.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary-General:
“I will be very actively engaging with Heads of State and Government over the next four weeks to help them unlock these issues. Ultimate responsibility for success in Paris rests firmly in their hands. I will urge world leaders to tell their negotiators that now is the time for compromise and consensus building. Bridges must be built to span the traditional divides between developed and developing countries. Countries must work toward the common interest, beyond narrow national interests. Climate change carries no passport and knows no national borders.”
