2015 Paris Agreement

The 2015 Paris Agreement is an international treaty where nearly 200 countries committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to stay below 1.5°C. Countries set their own national targets, called "climate plans," and pledge to update them over time for greater action. The agreement also emphasizes adaptation to climate impacts and financial support to help developing nations. It aims to foster global cooperation to protect the environment, support sustainable development, and ensure a healthier planet for future generations.
