UN urges countries to act on climate change

A record number of countries are signing the climate change agreement
at the United Nations.

Over 170 nations are inking the deal - the largest number to sign an
international treaty in a single day.

that could take months.

At the opening ceremony, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said
countries should act as quickly as possible.
