A big plan of the environmental activists that were all set to convene in Paris at the eve of this month for U.N. Climate summit are now in great doubt following the massive terrorist attacks. The organizers of the event are now weighing the security risks of gathering a huge group of top officials in a country that is still reeling under the tragedy of extremist violence that killed 129 people. The environmental groups are scheduled to meet on Monday to decide the relevant plan of action. The activists in the group have agreed to oblige on the ban imposed by the French President, Francois Hollande, who has declared the country in the state of emergency, as reported by Reuters.

On the big summit planned for November 29^th in Paris, the organizers from 130 non-governmental organizations were hoping to draw in big crowds, speculating a carnival-like event that would put immense pressure on the world leaders to take conclusive action to curtail the issue of global warming. Alix Mazounie of Climate Action Network in France said, "We are horrified by the attacks". Alix belongs to one of the 130 groups that were planning to congregate a large gathering so that they can put pressure on the world leaders who would be a part of the event from November 30^th to December 11^th. The Global Climate March organized by the group will meet to discuss the best way to proceed, given the security risk and the possibility of a low turn out, thus mitigating the political impact. "It is for the French presidency to decide on the way forward, and we will make changes to our plans as appropriate," said the aid charity Oxfam, reports Reuters.
