Paris Agreement (4 November 2016)
1. This Agreement […] aims to strengthen the global response to
the threat of climate change […] by:
(a) Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well
below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit
the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels […];
(b) Increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate
change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas
emissions development, in a manner that does not threaten food
production; and
(c) Making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low
greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development.
