Opening address by Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. ..... Ladies and gentlemen, we gather today under the weight of many sobering realities, of which I will mention only two. The first we experience every day and do not notice. Please take a deep breath. As you do, be aware that we are the first human beings to ever breathe air with 400 parts per million CO2. I rely on Dr. Pachauri to elucidate on what that means. The second is the devastating impact of Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful typhoons to ever make landfall. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of the Philippines, Viet Nam and South-East Asia. unfccc.int/files/press/statements/application/pdf/cop19_openingspeech_check.pdf
