French president Emmanuel Macron takes on a climate leadership role and says that we will succeed (at combating climate change thru the Paris Agreement) in this around 1 minute video. He uses the slogan, 'Make our planet great again' :-)!
Ravi: I am very encouraged by this message from President Macron! I think he deserves the support of the rest of the world (excluding Nicaragua, Syria and USA which have not signed/or have declared their withdrawal from the Paris agreement) in keeping the Paris climate agreement alive and as a focal point of concerted world effort (minus USA, Nicaragua and Syria) to combat climate change.
