Copenhagen Accord

The Copenhagen Accord, reached in 2009 during the COP15 climate conference in Copenhagen, was an international agreement focused on combating climate change. It aimed to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. While it did not establish legally binding emissions targets, it encouraged countries to set their own reduction goals and increase support for developing nations in adapting to climate impacts. The Accord acknowledged the need for financial assistance and technology transfer to help these countries transition to sustainable practices, highlighting a collective commitment to address climate change through cooperation.
