A watershed moment in global transformational climate action
Since the Rio Summit and the establishment of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Conference of the Parties to the Convention (COP) has met annually to determine ambition and responsibilities, as well as to identify and assess climate measures.
The Paris Agreement was the result of the 21st session of the COP (COP21), which galvanised worldwide collective action to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by 2100 and to act to adapt to the already existent effects of climate change.
