Paris Agreement

From November 30th 2015 to December 12th 2015, the United Nations Climate Change Conference was held in Paris, France. This marked the 21st meeting of this conference which had the European Union and 185 nation participating all with their own representatives. Called the Paris Agreement it focuses on dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance starting in the year 2020. Currently the agreement has not yet entered into force but was adopted on the final day of the conference. As Earth Day approaches (April 22nd) the agreement will be open for signatures with 120 states expected to sign the agreement. 

“The objective of the conference was to achieve for the first in 20 years a binding and universal agreement on climate for all the nations in the world.” As well as one of the most influential people keying in on the conference Pope Francis published an encyclical called Laudato si’ intended to influence those regarding the matter of climate change and to be against it.

The goal of the conference was that greenhouse gas emissions to be reduce for the outcome of limiting the increasing global temperature. Currently since the 17th Conference which was held in 2010 the increase is set at 2°C above pre industrial levels. The delegates pledged to reduce this and keep it below 2°C without an increase, however many believed that there would be no guarantee of this.

Each of the 195 countries which committed to the Paris agreement states that they will “reduce emissions as part of the method for reducing greenhouse gas.” Also stated to “reduce their carbon output as soon as possible to do their best to keep global warming well below 2°C.” In addition islands such as the Pacific, the Seychelles and the Philippines stated that they were threatened by the rising sea level and had proposed a goal of 1.5°C, however, it was settled as 2°C. 

France’s Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius stated that the Paris agreement was “ambitious and balanced” and a “historic turning point in reducing global warming.”

Obama released a statement regarding the Paris agreement in which he stated “in my first inaugural address, I committed this country to the tireless task of combating climate change and protecting this plant for future generations.Two weeks ago, in Paris, I said before the world that we needed a strong global agreement to accomplish this goal — an enduring agreement that reduces global carbon pollution and sets the world on a course to a low-carbon future. A few hours ago, we succeeded.  We came together around the strong agreement the world needed.  We met the moment.”
