Objectifs de l'événement
This lecture aims to discuss on the implications on the agreement made in Paris: What impact this new agreement will have in the achievement of the SDGs? What challenges rise ahead for the implementation of the new climate change commitments? What efforts do countries have to face in order to mitigate and adapt climate change effects?
Arrière plan
In December 2015, countries adopted the new historic Paris Agreement on climate change. For the first time, 195 Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) pledged to curb emissions, strengthen resilience and joined to take common climate action. This followed two weeks of negotiations at the United Nations climate change conference (COP21).
This new commitment cover all the crucial areas identified as essential for a landmark conclusion:
- Mitigation – reducing emissions fast enough to achieve the temperature goal;
- A transparency system and global stock-take– accounting for climate action;
- Adaptation – strengthening ability of countries to deal with climate impacts;
- Loss and damage – strengthening ability to recover from climate impacts; and
- Support – including finance, for nations to build clean, resilient futures.
