President Biya with about 50 other world leaders meet in Paris for the One planet summit

President Paul Biya of Cameroon has join more than 50 world leaders in Paris for a summit that
President Emmanuel Macron hopes will give new momentum to the fight against global warming, despite US President Donald Trump’s rejection of the Paris climate accord.
Some 3,100 security personnel are fanned out around Paris for Tuesday’s One Planet Summit, including extra patrol boats along the river Seine. Macron will accompany the visiting leaders to the summit site on a river island by boat.
Sean Penn, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Elon Musk are among prominent figures joining the world leaders at the summit, which marks the second anniversary of the Paris accord.
US President Donald Trump, who has called climate change a “hoax”, announced in June that the United States would pull out of the Paris pact, which had taken nearly 200 nations more than two decades to negotiate.
