The Paris Agreement, which is a legally binding international treaty on climate change entered into force on 4 November 2016. It seeks to combat climate change, accelerate and intensify actions, and activities geared towards a sustainable low carbon future.
The key goal is to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and additionally spur efforts to limit the temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
