Conference of Paris

The Conference of Paris, held in 2015, was an international summit where nearly 200 countries agreed on measures to combat climate change. They committed to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to keep it under 1.5°C. Countries pledged to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by setting nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and to increase efforts over time. The agreement emphasizes global cooperation, sustainable development, and financial support for developing nations, aiming to protect the environment while promoting economic growth and health worldwide.
