Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the 21st UN Conference of the Parties (COP21) in Paris on Monday, Ebtekar said that the conference is indeed a significant opportunity for the participation of world leaders to discuss the climate changes and a new agreement which will prevent the consequences of the changes on countries and societies.
She added “industrialized and developed countries have a heavy responsibility since they have played a more prominent role in accelerating climate change and emissions of greenhouse gas.”
“In such a situation, the use of renewable energy such as solar and wind has a great importance. Iran also has presented related plans by which we hope to reach to a logical and balanced document holding the interests of all”, she noted.
She added that COP21 main concern is to limit the rise in the planet’s temperature by 2 degrees.
