The Paris Agreement , adopted by the party members of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2015, during the 21st annual Conference of the Parties (COP21) in Paris, was a landmark agreement towards solving the ongoing climate crisis . While signing it, 196 party members agreed to hold “the increase in the global average temperature to below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels” and “to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels” by the end of the century. For this, an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) special report, Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius, recommended that “net-zero” emissions be achieved by 2050.
