Paris Climate Agreement

The Paris Climate Agreement is an international effort where countries commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming to well below 2°C, ideally to 1.5°C. Signed in 2015, it aims to promote sustainable development and protect the environment by encouraging nations to set their own emission reduction targets, then update and improve them over time. The agreement recognizes that climate change affects everyone and requires collective action. It promotes transparency, accountability, and support for countries needing help to adapt and transition to cleaner energy sources.
