"Climate disruption is a risk we are well aware of".
Ahead of the summit, more than 3,000 scientists from across the world pressed leaders to better protect people from the fallout of global warming. The leaders from Germany and France were among others in attendance.
Developing countries alone need to spend around $70 billion per year to battle the effects of global warming, a United Nations report showed this month, and those costs could jump to $140 billion to $300 billion by 2030.
