Paris

Agreement
The Paris Agreement was adopted by 196 countries at the
UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP 21) in Paris, on 12
December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016.
The agreement intends to reduce and mitigate greenhouse gas
emissions.
Before COP 21 in Paris, countries were asked to submit
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC’s). There was a
marked shift in the commitments from various countries.
