Paris Agreement Paris Agreement Overarching goal to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre- industrial levels; and pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels It is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 parties at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, France 12th December 2015. It entered into force on 4 November 2016.
Paris Agreement Paris Agreement con t con t If by 2030, we do not reach the Paris Agreement s target? We will face up to 2+ degree Celsius in global warming. This warming means far more erratic weather conditions and global temperature records being reached. We have already faced the negative impacts of climate change due to current warming.
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Paris Agreement requests each country to outline and communicate their post-2020 climate actions, known as their NDCs.
