The Paris Agreement, is the international treaty aimed at combating climate change by reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, is an international treaty aimed at combating climate change by reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
It brings together 195 parties in a collective effort to limit global warming to well below 2°C, with an ideal target of 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels.
Unlike its predecessor, the Kyoto Protocol, which imposed binding targets only on developed nations, the Paris Agreement requires all signatory countries to set voluntary emissions reduction targets and pursue policies to adapt to the impacts of climate change. It emphasizes transparency and accountability, requiring countries to report their progress regularly.
