| - Five years after the signing of the Paris climate agreement, extreme weather events, droughts, megastorms and heatwaves are on the rise. Signatories to the 2015 accord will meet at a virtual summit on Saturday, organised by the UN, France and the United Kingdom, hoping to breathe new life into the climate battle. Activists want world leaders to show ambition. If the Paris accord made it possible to "limit the damage", much more still needs to be done to leave Earth a liveable planet for future generations. Will post-pandemic recovery plans propel these ambitions? What future energies can world leaders rely on? How are young climate activists mobilising while the planet is still partly confined? AFP takes stock throughout the week, starting Tuesday with a look at where we stand. The package is accompanied by a series of striking videos, photographs and infographics focusing in particular on greenhouse gas emissions, melting ice, rising temperatures and state commitments to climate change. Today we are offering the following: + Five years on, summit aims to breathe life in Paris deal + Since Paris accord, climate catastrophes mount + Young climate activists adapt to pandemic world + Post-pandemic stimulus aid brings climate risks Climate-UN-summit,ADVANCER PARIS Five years ago countries agreed a plan to chart humanity's path away from climate catastrophe, with the landmark Paris deal paving the way to a greener, healthier future.
