Paris Agreement on Climate Change

Paris Agreement on Climate Change

On December 12, 2015, in Paris, 195 countries signed a global agreement that sets out an action plan that the signatories believe has the potential to curtail future climate change by limiting the increase in global warning to below 2℃ above pre-industrial levels.

The agreement will enter into force after 55 countries that account for at least 55% of global GHG emissions have ratified the agreement.
