As you know, it succeeded, and today the Paris Agreement is the agreement that everyone is dealing with in climate change.
But it is not going so well even, Fabius thinks.
The news agency Reuters interviewed him half a year ago when the Paris Agreement turned five years old.
Then Fabius said he wanted the world to take up the fight against climate change as vigorously as it fights coronavirus.
For the climate poses a far greater danger.
– Unfortunately, we do not do as much to combat climate problems as we do to tackle covid, as he said.
Fabius is out of the negotiations now.
He turns 75 on August 20, but he is still busy in the French state.
He resigned as foreign minister in 2016, but the same year he was appointed president of the Constitutional Council, the highest authority in constitutional affairs in France.
He still has that post.
Fabius is an elderly gentleman who has spent most of his adult life in public service or as a politician.
Joined the Socialists in 1974.
With educations from the prestigious schools Institut d & apos; Études Politique de Paris and École Nationale d & apos; Administration, Fabius joined the team around the later president François Mitterrand, with whom he built a close collaboration over several years.
In 1978 he was elected to the National Assembly in Paris.
In his career, he has been Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, MEP and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
In 1984, at the age of just 37, he became France’s youngest prime minister to date. He held the post for two years.
It was not politics right off the road all the time.
It was Fabius who had to admit that, yes, French agents had blown up the Greenpeace ship “Rainbow Warrior” in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1985.
The ship was on its way to Moruroa in French Polynesia, where France was planning to test a nuclear bomb.
It prevented the agents with the bombing. But a huge storm of protest arose against France.
