France Mounts “Unprecendented” Security Steps for Global Climate Talks

 

France has begun mounting a massive security operation ahead of next week’s global climate conference in Paris.

A total of 143 heads of state and government are due in the French capital on Monday and large demonstrations planned for the eve of the gathering have been banned amid security concerns.

France’s Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said: “on top of the 8,000 police officers at the borders, 2,800 police officers will be patrolling the site of the conference. Mobile units, riot squads and gendarmerie units will be called on at an unprecedented level.”
