What does the international
commitment to limit the average
global temperature rise "well
below 2°C" and "to continue
efforts to limit the temperature
rise to 1.5°C” effectively means
on the ground in Africa ?
By elaborating

Agreement by
African Group of
Climate Change.
the State of
ACMAD-MESA
to
the
of the Paris
briefing the
Negotiators on
ACMAD Continental Climate THEMA
Warming trend changed from 2°C per century for the past 6 decades to about
3°C per century during the past 3 decades. Thus, African Negotiators to UNFCCC
support 1.5°C global warming maximum in the Paris Agreement.
If the Paris Agreement is implemented
and given the current warming rate in
Africa, the continent may reach 3°C
warming …
… when at global level 1.5°C
warming will occur in the
2050-2070 time horizon.
ACMAD Continental Climate THEMA
OBJECTIVES OF THE PARIS AGREEMENT
1.
The Agreement seeks to enhance implementation of the UNFCCC convention.
2.
Its aims to strengthen global response to the threat of Climate Change for
sustainable development and poverty eradication.
2.1 Hold the global temperature increase well below 2oC of pre-industrial levels and
pursue effort to limit it below 1.5oC.
