Vladimir Putin spoke at the UN Climate conference in Paris, which was attended by leaders of more than 150 heads of state and government. The main objective of the summit;— the adoption of a new climate agreement after 2020 to replace the outdated and largely ineffective Kyoto Protocol.

Vladimir Putin, Russian President: "Russia will continue to contribute to joint efforts to prevent global warming. By 2030, we plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 70% of the base level of 1990 year. We will achieve this through breakthrough solutions in the field of energy conservation, including through new nanotechnologies.
