The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016. It's goal is to limit global warming to well below 2 preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.
Implementation of the Paris Agreement requires economic and social transformation based on the best available science. The Paris Agreement works on a 5 year cycle of increasingly ambitious climate action carried out by countries.
