Paris Accord (Climate)

The Paris Accord, adopted in 2015, is a global agreement to address climate change. Countries around the world committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, aiming for 1.5 degrees. Each country sets its own targets, called Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), based on its capabilities. The agreement emphasizes transparency, accountability, and support for developing nations. By fostering international cooperation, the Paris Accord seeks to mitigate climate impacts, enhance resilience, and promote sustainable development, recognizing that climate change affects everyone and requires collective action.
