The Paris Agreement on climate change

As of April 2018, 175 Parties ratified the Paris Agreement and 168 Parties notified the UNFCCC Secretariat of the first nationally recognized contribution.

As of April 2018, 10 developing countries have successfully completed and submitted the first iterative work of domestic adaptation plan to climate change.

Parties to developed countries continue to move forward towards the goal of mobilizing $ 100 billion annually for mitigation action by 2020.

From 1880 to 2012, the global average temperature rose by 0.85 ° C. From this point of view, every time you rise, food production will decrease by about 5%. Worldwide production of maize, wheat and other major crops decreased by 400,000 tons from 1981 to 2002 due to global warming

The sea is warming, the number of ice and snow are decreasing, the sea level is rising. From 1901 to 2010, the average sea level in the world rose 19 centimeters due to global warming and ice melting in the sea. Since 1979, the Arctic Ocean ice continues to shrink every ten years, ice has decreased by 70,000 square kilometers every ten years.

Taking into account current greenhouse gas concentrations and ongoing emissions, by the end of the century the global total temperature rise will exceed 5 ° C. The sea of ​​the world will warm, melting of ice will continue. The average sea level rise is predicted to be 24 to 30 cm by 2065 and 40 to 63 cm by 2100. Even if emissions cease, most aspects of climate change will last for hundreds of years.

It is possible to limit global average temperature rise to 2 ° C above the level before industrialization, taking advantage of various technical measures and behavioral changes.

Significant institutional and technological changes will provide better opportunities than global warming does not exceed this threshold.

At the 21st UN Climate Change Conference held last year in Paris, about 200 countries gathered to act on one of the most serious problems facing the planet and adopt an ambitious Paris climate change agreement did. For the first time in the climate agreement, we contribute to the climate of almost every country in the world. Since then, this year has become a historical year of climate change countermeasures. Under the guidance of the United States, we found that the "Paris Agreement" took effect earlier than anyone else. It also signed ambitious revisions of the Montreal Protocol. This is to gradually reduce the production and use of HFC which is a very powerful group of greenhouse gases. Countries also have adopted market-based international aviation measures that are not part of country-specific contributions included in the Paris Agreement, which will enable this growth field to achieve sustainable carbon neutral growth from 2020 It will be possible.

At an important meeting in Bonn earlier this month, high-ranking government officials from around the world gathered to provide some power to the Paris climate change agreement in 2015. One of the important decisions they made is that an agreement should play an important role in helping farmers adapt to the effects of climate change and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to agriculture It was. Unfortunately, the urgency of our need to cope with climate change is not reflected in the slow pace of climate negotiations. This delay has a profound effect on the people most affected by climate change - small farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
