>> first up, the g.p.a. summit of rich nations has wrapped up in germany with a pledge to fight climate change and to say they are committed to limiting the rise in global temperatures to two degrees celsius. they agree action is needed to address climate change. this a victory for the german chancellor. >> closing the talks, the g-7

hold said the group is ready to put its money where its mouth is on climate change. >> we are also committed to climatefunding. we can't do it on our own, but we are committed to this objective. as of 2020 we want to have $100 billion of public or private funds made available every year. >> but where will that money come from? $10 billion will come from a green fund created by the university in 2009. the rest will have to come from a mix of public and private funding. it will go towards a new g-7 goal phasing out the use of fossil fuels by the end of the crentry. no more oil, gas and coal and more wind and solar power. they want other nations to commit to decrease oil and gas emissions.

there was cautious praise from green peace who said the summit had delivered. refs it was remarkable to see that even japan now needs to shift resources from funding coal fired power plants in other parts of the world towards renewable energy. with these kind of steps in funding and an increased public pledge at the conference in paris, there is hope. >> canada and japan may have managed to water down merkel's 2050 target for a low carbon economy, but they may have to become zero carbon by the end of the century. >> we are joined now on the line from germany. thanks for being with us here on "france 24." we have had a lot of pledges from world leaders about bringing down temperatures and

carbon emissions, but we tend to see very little in terms of action. what is different this time around, do you think? >> i think that from a certain point of view, it is very important to listen to this decoration. all the duties are in front of us to get this off. we have to begin to slow down our emissions for 2020 by 3% per year. this is, from a technological point of view is very different. it is going to require changes in production and transportation. it remains very big and not very precise how we will do that how we would change all

these things. approving $100 billion a year seems to be very difficult. if enterprises don't shift in a very radical manner on green business and green technology -- >> it needs corporate investment as as political pledges. is there a certain futility in seven rich countries saying they will cut carbon emissions and then you have countries like china and india who continue to pump them out. we all live on the same planet. will it make any difference? >> i think this decoration by the seven big industrialized countries is not enough.

china is the first emitter with 28% of the emissions per year now. if china also turns a trajectory towards lowering emissions, if they dent do that, it is not possible. we can check and observe that even japan who was at this meeting in bohn, has had a positive role until now. i think really things are -- nothing is sure at this moment. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> well, many scientists do say that the rise of just two

degrees in global temperatures could drastically alter the world's climate and have a devastating impact on wildlife as well. here is more. >> two degrees might not sound like much, but it is the critical threshold for global warming. our oceans are facing greater changes in the next 85 than in the last three million. boidiversity too see a drop of up to 30% in the majority of oceans. warmer regions have more risk of devastation. >> we are anticipating a significant decline in kelp and other things replaced by species that thrive in warmer temperatures like sardine. >> in this area, sardine

be an issue for in putin. he has to make a decision. does he continue to wreck his country's economy and continue russia's isolation in pursuit of a wrong-headed desire to recreate the glories of the soviet empire. or does he recognize that russia's greatness does not depend on violating the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other countries. >> turkey's president is recovering from a rare political defeat. his party lost its majority in parliament over the weekend, ending the president's bid to extend his executive powers. josh looks at how he has consolidated power over the past few years and now turkish voters are forcing him to step back. >> they brim with confidence as
