UNITED NATIONS Adidas Ultra Boost Nere Scontate , June 29 (Xinhua) -- United Nations Secretary- General Ban Ki-Moon and representatives from a number of countries on Monday called for more efforts to speed up the talks on climate change so that an ambitious and universally binding agreement can be reached in France before the end of this year.
"The pace of the UNFCCC negotiations is far too slow. It's like snails, moving snail's pace," Ban said at a high-level event on climate change referring to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations currently taking place in Bonn, ahead of the official 2015 climate change conference set to take place in Paris on Dec. 7-8.
The secretary-general urged world leaders to take responsibility for the outcomes of the world's first truly global climate change negotiations.
The United Nations hopes that the international community will together deliver a new, ambitious and universally binding climate agreement in Paris by the end of this year.
"I really count on leaders, Presidents Adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged Scontate , Prime Ministers and Ministers to exercise their political direction so that this negotiation will move much faster," Ban said.
Meanwhile, the secretary-general also urged developed countries to ensure they had a credible political plan in place to meet commitments of 100 billion U.S. dollars per year to support developing countries to adapt to climate change by 2020.
"I strongly urge developed countries to provide a politically credible trajectory for mobilizing $100 billion per year by 2020 to support developing countries in curbing emissions and strengthening their resilience," Ban said.
Echoing Ban's remarks, Xie Zhenhua, China's special representative on climate change Adidas Ultra Boost 2.0 Scontate , who also spoke at the high-level meeting here, said "There is very little time between now and the Paris conference."
"It is crucial that all parties submit their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) and strengthen the implementation in accordance with their international obligations undertaken in the convention," Xie said.
As of Monday, only 39 countries -- of the 196 parties to the convention -- have submitted their INDCs, according to the UNFCCC website.
"Our experiences together with events elsewhere clearly indicate that climate change is not an event in the future, but an event that is already taking place Adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 Scontate ," Anote Tong, the president of Kiribati, said. "It is happening now."
Tong said that recently there had been a "glimmer of hope" that climate change dialogue was shifting, but that it is critical "to move from the acknowledgment of climate change as a challenge to doing something about it."
For his part, Harald Braun, the permanent representative of Germany to the United Nations Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Donne Scontate , underscored Ban's call for negotiations to move faster. "We have to speed up -- we have to become faster -- we are still
