The Paris Agreement is an international agreement

signed by almost all countries in the world to work

together to combat climate change and its impacts.

The agreement was adopted in 2015 by the 21st

Conference of the Parties to the United Nations

Framework

Convention

on

Climate

Change

(UNFCCC) and became legally binding in 2016.

The Paris Agreement's main goal is to keep the

global average temperature rise below 2 degrees

Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue

eforts to limit the temperature increase even further

to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This is important because if

global temperatures continue to rise, it could lead to

devastating impacts on the planet such as more

frequent heatwaves, droughts, extreme weather

events, and rising sea levels, which would threaten

the lives and livelihoods of millions of people, as well

as biodiversity and ecosystems.

Under the Paris Agreement, each country sets its

own targets to reduce its emissions of greenhouse

gases and regularly reports on its progress.

PARIS AGREEMENT

The agreement also includes a mechanism for

countries to review and strengthen their emissions

reduction commitments over time.

The Paris Agreement is important because it is the

frst time that all countries have come together to

address the global challenge of climate change and

to work towards a common solution. By working

together, the world can reduce emissions, help to

slow down the efects of climate change and ensure

a more sustainable future for all.

WHAT IS THE 'PARIS AGREEMENT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Paris Agreement is the international UN treaty of 2015 that aims to tackle climate change head on.

It's central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global

temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with ambition to limit

the increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius

HOW THE 'PARIS AGREEMENT', WORKS?

Let's talk about how the Paris Agreement is going

to help us deal with the climate crisis.

FORESTS: KEY TO CONFRONTING CLIMATE CHANGE

When forests are destroyed, they release large quantities

of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which contributes

to climate change.

Forests are the largest storehouse of carbon after the

oceans. However, when forests are destroyed by activities

such as logging and land conversion for agriculture, they

release large quantities of carbon dioxide and other

greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

To help fght climate change, we need to stop this from

happening. Forests are actually a big part of the solution

to the climate problem.
