The Climate Agreement just reached in Paris

The Paris Climate Agreement establishes a global goal to keep temperature increases well below 2.0C, aiming for 1.5C and net-zero emissions between 2050 and 2100. However, current national commitments are insufficient, projecting a 2.7C increase, necessitating periodic reviews every five years starting in 2018. The agreement also mandates US$ 100 billion in support for developing countries from 2020 to assist with adaptation and emission reductions.

• The Paris Agreement involves 195 countries representing over 95% of global emissions, with the objective to keep global temperature rises well below 2.0C and strive for a limit of 1.5C by the end of the century. The parties also aim for zero net greenhouse gas emissions between 2050 and 2100 and seek to peak total emissions as soon as possible.
