The Paris Agreement

The Paris Agreement is an international treaty aimed at addressing climate change, adopted in 2015. It brings together countries to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to restrict the increase to 1.5 degrees. Each country sets its own emissions reduction targets and regularly updates them. The agreement emphasizes transparency, accountability, and support for developing nations in their climate efforts. It reflects a collective commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to climate impacts, and promoting sustainable development globally.
