The Paris Agreement is a landmark accord within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) aimed at combating climate change and its impacts. Adopted in 2015, it brought together countries to commit to keeping the global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius, with efforts to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The significance lies in its legally binding pledges, which encourage nations to set Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) reflecting their climate action goals, fostering a unified response among nations and encouraging transparency, accountability, and progressively ambitious national targets.
