Paris Agreement Marks Global Climate Commitment
On November 4, 2016, the Paris Agreement officially came into effect, representing a landmark international accord aimed at combating climate change. This agreement, adopted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, unites nearly every country in a collective effort to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius. By committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance adaptive capacities, nations have pledged to work together to protect our planet for future generations.
Fun fact. As of 2021, 197 countries have signed the Paris Agreement.
