Paris Climate Agreement

The Paris Agreement is an international treaty on climate change signed in 2016, covering mitigation, adaptation, and finance, and is currently ratified by 195 UNFCCC member states. The treaty aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C and preferably 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, requiring countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach net zero by the middle of the 21st century. Each country is responsible for determining and reporting its own contributions, and while some have criticized the agreement as too weak, it has been successfully used in climate litigation and has led to increased ambition among countries.learn more on wikipedia
