BELGRADE - Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic will on Friday, April 22, attend the signing of the Paris agreement on climate change at the UN headquarters in New York.

President Nikolic will attend the ceremony at the invitation of French President Francois Hollande and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Nikolic's presidential press office said in a statement.

At long last, after years of bickering and weeks of intense bargaining, the world's leaders acknowledged the current dismal state of the environment in Paris on Dec. 11 and pledged their support to attempt to prevent a global catastrophe in the foreseeable future by agreeing on several preventive measures. The latest U.N. Climate Conference that took place in Paris between Nov. 30 and Dec.

"For the first time, every country in the world has pledged to curb emissions, strengthen resilience and join in common cause to take climate action, What was once unthinkable has become unstoppable," Ban Ki-moon, U.N. Secretary General tweeted following the climate accord in Paris.

A historic agreement attempting to limit the rise in global temperatures to less than 2C has been reached at the climate change summit in Paris.

After two weeks of negotiations ministers and bureaucrats from all over the world decided to cut carbon emissions.

International delegates are close to agreeing on a deal that would put constraint on global warming.

The text discussed at the summit, which is now running into its third week (after being scheduled to last a fortnight) will be legally binding if approved.

Agreements on the table signaling commitments by countries, regional governments and companies are promising for the prospect of tackling carbon emissions and energy transition, but a binding agreement is not likely to emerge from the COP21 Climate Summit in Paris, according to Samantha Smith, the head of the WWF Climate and Energy Initiative.

The delegates at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21), which is taking place in Paris between November 30 and December 11, managed to reach a draft agreement.

The delegates hope that the draft text could serve as the basis of an agreement to curb global carbon emissions.
