The Paris Accord (PA) is the result of a quarter-century of global climate diplomacy begun at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). To be more exact in this regard, Under the Paris Agreement, the 194 Members to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change agreed to changing the trajectory of the planet towards sustainable development and “making the global average temperature rise well below 2 ° C above preindustrial levels and promoting efforts to limit the temperature rise to 1.5 ° C above pre-industrial levels.”. To accomplish this goal, all member nations must set national goals for reducing GHG emissions – nationally defined contributions (NDCs).
