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'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 and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Actions for a healthy planet Save energy at home. Much of our electricity and heat are powered by coal, oil and gas. Change your home's source of energy. Walk, bike or take public transport. Switch to an electric vehicle. Consider your travel. Reduce, reuse, repair and recycle. Eat more vegetables. Throw away less food.
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).
In fact, Minnesota's average annual temperature has increased nearly 3°F since the late 1800's. Climate science research suggests that the state will continue to get warmer and wetter, with more extreme events driving changes across the state and greater Midwest region.
Today, 195 Parties (194 States plus the European Union) have joined the Paris Agreement. The Agreement includes commitments from all countries to reduce their emissions and work together to adapt to the impacts of climate change, and calls on countries to strengthen their commitments over time.
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.
If you want to make an impact on a larger scale, volunteer through organizations focused on collective action. The Sierra Club and 350 are great places to start if you want to advocate for conservation and climate action.
Minnesota and the Midwest will warm an additional 5-degrees F by 2050. Lake Superior waters are projected to see a 7-degree F increase by 2050.
At every level, people can take action to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The actions you take at home, at work, at school, on the go, and in your community all add up to make a difference.
