International Agreement on Climate Change

At a United Nations climate conference in Paris (November 30-December 12, 2015), leaders of 195 countries, including all EU member states individually, as well as the EU as a whole, reached a new agreement requiring action from all countries to avoid the disastrous consequences of global warming.
The EU played a crucial role in mediating the historic agreement of December 12, 2015 in Paris, which is the first universal, legally binding global climate agreement.
The ambitious and balanced agreement, the first major multilateral agreement of the 21st century, sets out a global action plan to put the world on track to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2°C.
