Hundreds of countries, as well as non-governmental organisations, will attend the event on December 12.

But an official in Mr Macon’s office said the US President, who pulled his country out of the 2015 deal “for the time being”, has not been invited to the French capital.

The official said: “The United States have a bit of a special status for that summit.”

He added guests there will be committed to implementing the 2015 deal.
