OSLO (Reuters) - France suggested on Monday that world leaders should attend only the start of a summit on climate change in Paris in six months, hoping to avoid a repeat of the last failed attempt in 2009 when they came at the end and left empty-handed.

Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius also said France hoped to agree some elements of a U.N. climate deal by October, weeks before the Nov. 30-Dec. 11 summit, which aims to agree a global pact to cut rising greenhouse gas emissions.
