Mr Obama was addressing a joint news conference with French President Francois Hollande, who is visiting several countries to rally their support against the perpetrators of the Paris attack.
“What a powerful rebuke to the terrorists it will be when the world stands as one and shows that we will not be deterred from building a better future for our children,” Mr Obama said of the climate conference.
The segue brought mockery, even castigation, from the political right, but it was a reminder of the importance Mr Obama places on climate change in shaping his legacy.
During his 2012 re-election campaign, he barely mentioned global warming, but the issue has become a hallmark of his second term. On Sunday night he arrives in Paris, hoping to make climate policy the signature environmental achievement of his, and perhaps any presidency.
