The Paris Agreement is an international treaty aimed at addressing climate change. Adopted in 2015, it brings together countries to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to keep it to 1.5 degrees Celsius. 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 global cooperation and support for developing nations in their climate efforts. It also includes provisions for financial assistance and technology transfer to help these countries adapt to climate impacts and transition to sustainable energy sources.
