2015 Paris Agreement
What is it?
A 32 Page Document
Issued on 12 December 2015
Commits 195 countries
To reduce their emissions of greenhouse gasses.
So future average atmospheric temperature won't exceed...
2C over pre-industrial levels
World leaders officially signed up in April 2016
What have countries agreed to?
A temperature increase of 2C is to be avoided
Limit the increase at 1.5C
Sequestation later this century will be needed
Emission targets will be set by countries seperatley
However these will be reviewed every 5 years
And emmission levels will be decreased meaningfully
Wealthy countries will share their science and technology to help reduce emissions
Countries that have historically emitted a lot of GHG's recognise the loss and damage inflicted on poor countries
UK
Poorer countries are given time to de-carbonise their economies
Without sacrificing economic prosperity
Will it work?
Relies on two factors
If countrie(s) are unable to meet their target for 5 year review
Other countries will remain positive and invested in the agreement
Countries sticking to their agreements
What might go wrong?
Countries may find it too expensive to phase out old practices
For example coal powerstations
China are only increasing their use of coal
And will continue to do so over a long period of time
Countries priorities may change
If hit by an economic recession for example
Replacing fossil fuels with 'green' energy is so far out of our reach
