The Georgia Initiative for Climate and Society fosters a scientific community dedicated: Improving our understanding of the complex processes and effects of climate variability and change on natural, managed, human-built, and societal systems.
The EU pledged to reduce EU emissions by 2030 by at least 55% compared to 1990 levels as a step towards reaching neutrality by 2050.
The Paris Agreement is a landmark in the multilateral climate change process because, for the first time, a binding agreement brings all nations together to combat climate change and adapt to its effects.
The Paris Agreement works on a five-year cycle of increasingly ambitious climate action -- or, ratcheting up -- carried out by countries. Since 2020, countries have been submitting their national climate action plans, known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
This document was prepared in ance with government's Ordinance no 629/2019 on the “Approval of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation of Policy Documents.” It consists of a strategy to 2030 and an action plan covering the period 2021-2023.
It saw almost all the world's nations agree to cut the greenhouse gas emissions which cause global warming. Adopted by 194 parties (193 countries plus the EU) in the French capital on 12 December 2015, the Paris Agreement came into force on 4 November 2016.
Major sources of international climate change law include the Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the decisions made by the UNFCCC in implementing these treaties.
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 Climate Action Plan 2021 (CAP21) provides a detailed plan for taking decisive action to achieve a 51% reduction in overall greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and setting us on a path to reach net-zero emissions by no later than 2050, as committed to in the Programme for Government and set out in the Climate Act 2021.
