"Agreement in sight!" EDF statement on new COP 21 draft

Reaction to Dec. 10, 21:00 draft text from Nat Keohane, Vice President, Global Climate

“Although key elements of the agreement are still in play, this new draft text is further proof that the Paris talks are building a strong, durable agreement. We can see an agreement in sight. Impressive progress has been made. Of course differences remain, but it’s clear that the countries here are very, very serious about the challenge before them. There is strong momentum as we head to the finish line. Maintaining our common commitment to accountability and transparency will be critical in these final hours.”
