PARIS -- In December 2015, world leaders agreed on a new international framework for tackling climate change from 2020. France successfully led the U.N. conference because of rigorous preparation and carefully arranged under-the-table negotiations. But with just over a month since the adoption of the agreement, the host country is wasting no time to make sure that it actually takes effect.
