There is evidence that warmer temperatures are making storms more intense.

At the Copenhagen summit in 2009, developed nations agreed to provide $100 billion of public and private financing to help developing countries adapt to climate change and develop greener technologies. Nakhooda said the debate has shifted since Copenhagen, and there is hope a deal can be reached.

"Several countries have offered to double their contributions of public finance, so that's all encouraging," she said. "The costs of clean energy deployment have plummeted in recent years, and they've plummeted the fastest in some developing countries."

Several events during the summit have been canceled following the terror attacks in Paris two weeks ago. France has deployed an extra 8,000 police officers on its borders.
