In light of the news that the Paris Agreement has achieved enough ratifications to trigger entry into force in 30 days, Felipe Calderón, former President of Mexico and chair of the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, has issued the following statement:
"Today the Paris Agreement has reached the required number of countries and emissions to enter into force. On behalf of the Global Commission, we congratulate the UN, all the parties and the global community that have made this historic milestone possible. We have agreed a global climate agenda, now we should act on it. Investing in sustainable infrastructure is the wisest decision we can take for our future. Not only can it deliver on the goals of the Paris Agreement it is also the best growth path forward."
