"World Leaders Gather To Breathe New Life Into Paris Accord"

"World leaders gathered in New York on Wednesday to try to breathe new life into the Paris global climate accord, amid backsliding from several nations over commitments made in the historic deal.

The 'One Planet Summit,' launched last year by French President Emmanuel Macron, aims to accelerate the implementation of the 2015 pact.

'We are not here just to speak, but to be accountable,' Macron told delegates at the Plaza luxury hotel in New York."
