The Paris Agreement is a global pact aimed at combating climate change. Adopted in 2015, it brings together nearly every country in the world to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Each country sets its own targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and is encouraged to increase their ambitions over time.
The agreement emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and support, especially for developing nations. It also aims to enhance resilience to climate impacts and promote sustainable development. By working together, countries hope to create a healthier planet for future generations.
