Paris Agreement on Climate Change

The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, is an international treaty where countries commit to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming ideally below 2°C, with efforts to stay under 1.5°C. Participants set nationally determined plans to cut emissions and regularly update their commitments to enhance climate action. The goal is to prevent severe climate impacts like extreme weather, rising sea levels, and harm to ecosystems, fostering global cooperation for a more sustainable and resilient future. It emphasizes shared responsibility while respecting different nations' capacities and circumstances.
