PARIS (AP) – The latest from the much-anticipated U.N. climate conference that gets underway in Paris on Monday. All times local:

10:20 a.m.

Environmental and other activists are lining up shoes on Paris streets and holding a healing ceremony to urge world leaders to reach a deal to slow climate change.

A big activists’ march Sunday was banned because of a state of emergency imposed in France after Nov. 13 extremist attacks that killed 130 people.

Instead, environmental groups are holding marches outside France this weekend, and some activists lined up shoes on the Place de la Republique square to represent the people barred from protesting.
