The Paris climate agreement demonstrated the world's unity and secured the Earth for many future generations, UK Prime Minister David Cameron said in a statement Saturday.

LONDON (Sputnik) — On Saturday, nearly 200 negotiators agreed to curb emissions beyond 2020 and fuel the transition toward a clean energy world economy after two weeks of tough negotiations.

"In striking this deal, the nations of the world have shown what unity, ambition and perseverance can do. We’ve secured our planet for many, many generations to come – and there is nothing more important than that," Cameron posted on his LinkedIn page.

According to the prime minister, the accord is a "vital step" for the future of the world.

The 31-page pact commits countries to hold global average temperatures to "well below" 2 degrees Celsius (35.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels and urges them to "pursue efforts" to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
