Contract Type FiledJanuary 28th, 2016The climate deal adopted in Paris on 12 December 2015 was a historic moment in global efforts against climate change. For the first time, consensus was reached among all 195 nations, members of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), with a globally-binding agreement that is supposed to present a way forward for the world to tackle climate change and its impacts. In many ways, this is an impressive achievement, a diplomatic success against the odds and a boost for the UNFCCC process which has seen numerous deadlocks and disappointments since it was first opened for signature at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992.
