Dr Vivian Balakrishnan addressing on the Climate Issues that we are facing globally.

After protracted, many almost all night negotiations, the United Nations Climate Conference in Lima closed successfully with some last minute minor surgery to the text.

Peru's Minister for Environment did a great job balancing all the divergent interests and anxieties of the more than 170 countries involved. Great energy and always cheerful.

He set the stage for all countries to submit 'intended nationally determined contributions' by the middle of next year to address the impact of climate change.

This was a complex process involving more than 170 countries with very diverse circumstances. Decisions can only be taken by consensus, not simply a majority vote. Persuasion and relationships matter, almost as much as logic and facts.

Frankly, I doubt that the initial contributions by all countries will be adequate for solving the enormous problem. But it is a start, and we will hopefully be able to do more, collectively, in the future.

Thank you to all members of the Singapore negotiating team who spent so many weeks away from home and family to fly our flag. We may come from a tiny country, but we did more than our fair share to facilitate a successful agreement. We have to always work harder, usually quietly behind the scenes, to prove our value and relevance to the world.
