What is the Paris Agreement? The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, France, on 12 December 2015.
On March 5, 2020, the Florida Senate passed a resolution expressing its support for adopting policies to prepare the state for sea-level rise and flooding. In the resolution, the senate also recognizes the importance of resilient infrastructure in “fortifying” the state from those impacts.
Some of the key aspects of the Agreement are set out below: Long-term temperature goal (Art. Global peaking and 'climate neutrality' (Art. Mitigation (Art. Sinks and reservoirs (Art. Voluntary cooperation/Market- and non-market-based approaches (Art. Adaptation (Art. Loss and damage (Art.
Both the Kyoto Protocol at the outset and the Paris Agreement, which is currently in force, lay the foundations for achieving global targets.
TheClimate Change Act 22 of 2024 was assented to by the President of the Republic of South Africa on 23 July 2024 in GN 5050 in GG 50966 of 23 July 2024.

At COP21 in 2015 in Paris, all UNFCCC Parties adopted the Paris Agreement : the first ever universal, legally binding global climate agreement. They agreed to limit the global temperature increase from the industrial revolution to 2100 to 2°C while pursuing efforts to limit the increase even further to 1.5°C.
The Paris Agreement speaks of the vision of fully realizing technology development and transfer for both improving resilience to climate change and reducing GHG emissions. It establishes a technology framework to provide overarching guidance to the well-functioning Technology Mechanism.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was adopted in 1992 with the ultimate aim of preventing dangerous human interference with the climate system. The 1997 Kyoto Protocol and 2015 Paris Agreement build on the Convention.
It sets a long-term temperature target of keeping global warming 'well-below' 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and 'pursuing efforts' to keep it below 1.5°C. The Paris Agreement also defines a global goal on adaptation to enhance adaptive capacity and resilience and to reduce vulnerability.
