President Barack Obama’s meeting Sunday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel is an opportunity for the pair to champion an issue dear to them both: climate change.

The pair will talk upon Obama’s arrival at the site of the Group of Seven meeting in the Bavarian Alps, one of the last, best opportunities for the leaders from some of the world’s largest industrialized economies to shore up support for a global climate accord before the Paris climate conference in December.
