COP21(The 21st yearly session of Conference Of the Parties to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)
195 Contracting Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) signed a final agreement on the establishment of a new climate change regime in 2020 at the Louvre exhibition near Paris on December 12, 2015.
The Paris Agreement is the first binding agreement that all 195 parties must comply with, unlike the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, where only industrialized countries had an obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Under the 31-page Paris Agreement, the Parties will endeavor to limit the rise in global mean temperature to 1.5°C, which is much lower than 2°C as compared to the pre-industrial level, for the long-term goal of a new climate change regime.
