Paris Climate Accord

The Paris Climate Accord is an international agreement where countries commit to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, ideally to 1.5°C. Countries set their own targets (nationally determined contributions) to cut emissions and regularly update them to increase ambition. The goal is to prevent the worst impacts of climate change, such as extreme weather, rising sea levels, and environmental damage. It's a collaborative effort, emphasizing shared responsibility, transparency, and support for developing countries, aiming for a sustainable future for all.
