Leaders and diplomats from more than 160 countries are gathering at the United Nations' New York headquarters on April 22 to sign the Paris Agreement – the landmark climate deal hammered out at the culmination of last year’s talks.
The ceremony marks the start of a year-long opportunity for countries to sign the agreement, although most of the world will sign on the opening day.
