The Paris Agreement: What Is It And It's Goals
The Paris Agreement is Fight Towards Sustainable Development
The Paris agreement is a pact signed by countries to control the emission of greenhouse gases and make the environment better. The Paris agreement is an addition to the Kyoto Protocol and has fixed some problems with it. Read on to learn what are the aims of Paris agreement and how has the world reacted to it.
Climate change is one of the biggest crises humanity faces today.Climate change refers to a sudden change in climatic conditions of the world.when seen on a global level it seems even more dangerous as it affects the well being of flora and fauna around the world.The international community has finally realized this as a problem and is taking measures to curb this global crisis.
Climate change has increased the frequency of natural disasters which cause substantial loss to the overall infrastructure of a country.It is responsible for the hottest years on record.It also causes extreme weather conditions which endanger the well being of flora and fauna around the world.
The Paris agreement does the trick for us.The Paris agreement is currently signed by 194 countries which pledge to cut down green house emissions by certain levels to decrease global warming.The Paris agreement is a plan under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.Scientists have been warning the international community about the harmful effects of global warming on Earth since long.In recognition of this, the UN designed the FCCC which gave birth to the Kyoto Protocol.The Kyoto Protocol was the predecessor to the Paris agreement which laid down certain goals for sustainable development.But it failed to able to convert the current situation to a better one, thus the world leaders decided to meet again and sign the Paris agreement at Paris to work on further developments on this issue.
Recently some countries have decided to interpret climate change according to their perspective.For example, the American government believes that climate change is not a problem that humanity should worry about.The Trump administration considers the Paris agreement a "breach of sovereignty" as it requires its signatories to reduce carbon emissions substantially.
I strongly believe that fight against global warming and climate change should be collective.Countries and people have to unite into a group determined to save the current populations and the generations to come from the scourge of climate change.Countries might take individual measures to bring down their carbon emissions and control rise in temperatures, but are they enough? I urge global superpowers and industrial nations to realize that their quest of becoming global financial leaders is hindering the development of smaller and developing countries because they are busy in worrying about the disasters caused by the carbon emissions and green house emissions of the developed.If we decide to unite and fight against one problem the entire world is facing, it will be solved quickly and easily.
