The Paris Agreement is a global agreement signed in 2015 by 196 countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming to below 2°C. It aims to strengthen countries' abilities to deal with climate impacts and make developing countries financially capable of controlling warming. Countries set voluntary emissions reduction targets every 5 years. While a step forward, the agreement's targets have been criticized as insufficient and its country commitments are non-binding. The US withdrew but later rejoined under Biden. Withdrawal requires following specific rules over a period of years.

Paris accords
The Paris Agreement is an agreement within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance starting in 2020. 194 countries have signed it, with 127 ratifying it, and it went into effect in November 2016. The agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C by reducing emissions through nationally determined contributions that are reported every 5 years. However, the contributions are not legally binding and there is no enforcement if countries do not meet their targets.
21. Climate Change: The Paris Climate Agreement
The document discusses the history and key elements of the Paris Climate Agreement. It outlines that the UNFCCC was formed in 1992 to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions and avoid dangerous climate change. Major milestones include the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and 2015 Paris Agreement, where countries agreed to limit warming to 1.5-2°C. The Paris Agreement established long-term temperature goals, national emissions reduction plans, frameworks for finance/support, and transparency measures, but current country pledges are still insufficient to meet its targets. In 2019, the US withdrew from the agreement.

The Kyoto protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is a global agreement that set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It required industrialized countries to cut emissions by 5% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012, with the European Union cutting by 8% and Japan by 5%. While many countries signed on, some like the US withdrew. The targets have been criticized by scientists as too low. The UK has taken steps to meet its targets like shifting from coal to gas power, increasing renewables, and taxing petrol, but will need more nuclear power to fully transition. Individual actions and new technologies can help reduce carbon footprints, but a major economic shift is needed to transition away from fossil fuels.

Paris agreement
The document discusses India's ratification of the Paris Agreement on climate change. It provides background on the Paris Agreement, its aims to limit global warming below 2 degrees Celsius through greenhouse gas emissions reductions and climate change adaptation efforts. India had not previously ratified the agreement as it sought flexibility for economic growth. However, Prime Minister Modi recently announced India will now ratify it, becoming the 62nd country to do so. Ratifying will require India to reduce emissions intensity, increase renewable energy production, and expand forest cover. The impacts of climate change are also discussed, noting risks to India's large agriculture sector and coastal populations from effects like drought, flooding and sea level rise.
The History of Climate Change Negotiations
The document provides a short history of international climate change policy, starting from early scientific studies in the late 19th century through the establishment of the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol. It summarizes the key objectives and principles of the UNFCCC, as well as commitments made by Annex I, Annex II, and other parties. It then discusses the Kyoto Protocol, including its commitments, limitations, and need for future action. It concludes by outlining the AWG-KP and AWG-LCA processes aimed at establishing new commitments beyond the first Kyoto commitment period and a long-term global climate agreement.
Paris agreement
The document discusses India's plans to ratify the Paris Agreement on climate change. It provides background on the Paris Agreement, noting it aims to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius and was ratified by 61 countries. The summary explains that Prime Minister Modi announced India will ratify the agreement. As part of its commitments under the agreement, India will need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 33-35% by 2030, increase renewable energy production, and expand forest cover. Ratifying the agreement will significantly impact India's energy sector and industry.
COP27 EGYPT Brochure.pdf
This document discusses Egypt's roadmap to hosting COP27 in 2022 on behalf of Africa. It provides background on climate change negotiations and commitments. Egypt has made significant climate commitments and investments in renewable energy, water conservation, and coastal protection projects. It established a National Climate Change Council to coordinate climate action and developed a national climate change strategy to 2050. The city of Sharm El-Sheikh is highlighted as a model of sustainable development and green tourism, with a focus on preserving coastal and marine ecosystems.
Kyoto Protocol (application, success, failure)
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Protocol set binding emission reduction targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European community but did not include binding targets for developing countries like China and India. While some parties achieved their targets, overall global emissions continued to rise significantly during the Protocol's first commitment period from 2008-2012. The Protocol has faced criticisms around its flexibility mechanisms, lack of participation from major emitters, and difficulty enforcing compliance. In 2012, an amendment extended the Protocol with a second commitment period through 2020 but with fewer participating parties.
Kyoto Protocol
The presentation summarized the history and key aspects of the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement linked to the UNFCCC aimed at fighting global warming. It discussed how the protocol was adopted in 1997 and entered into force in 2005, committing industrialized countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The presentation outlined the emission reduction targets and trading programs established by the protocol, as well as future meetings planned to regulate violators. It concluded by stating the protocol was an important first step, but further negotiations are needed to deliver stronger emission reductions to address climate change.
Rio summit

The Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is a 1997 global agreement that set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It aimed to reduce emissions in industrialized countries to 5% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012, with varying targets for different countries. While most industrialized countries met their targets, emissions in other high emitters like the US rose. The targets are now seen as too low, and greater reductions are needed to combat climate change. Individual actions and moving to renewable energy can help reduce emissions, but replacing coal with nuclear power will also be necessary to meet future targets.
The Kyoto Protocol
- The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that sets binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions for industrialized countries.
- The goal is to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to help prevent dangerous climate change. Countries agreed on average reductions of 5.2% from 1990 levels by 2012.
- The United States signed but later withdrew from the agreement in 2001, citing negative economic impacts. Many other countries have ratified it but it faces challenges in comprehensively addressing long-term climate change.
Kyoto protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It commits industrialized nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat global warming. Key points of the Kyoto Protocol include binding emissions reduction targets for 37 industrialized nations, flexible mechanisms to lower compliance costs, and excluding developing countries from emissions limits. While most industrialized nations support it, the United States has withdrawn support. Malaysia has no emissions targets but supports efforts under the UNFCCC framework.
The Sixth Assessment Report
The document summarizes the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It outlines the three special reports published in 2018-2019 on global warming of 1.5°C, climate change and land, and oceans and cryosphere.

The Paris Agreement is the world's first comprehensive climate agreement that requires emissions reductions from all countries. It aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C by having countries set and strengthen their own emissions reduction targets through nationally determined contributions (NDCs) every 5 years. While it does not enforce compliance, 185 countries have signed on and it entered into force in 2016 after ratification by over 55 countries representing over 55% of global emissions. Critics argue the initial NDCs are insufficient and countries are not implementing the policies envisioned, but the agreement creates a framework for increasing climate action over time.
1-Paris Agreement for Climate Change.pdf
France has made significant contributions to reducing climate change through the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change that was adopted in 2015. It aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C by requiring countries to submit and strengthen national climate action plans (NDCs) every 5 years that detail emissions reductions and resilience efforts. The agreement also establishes a global framework for countries to cooperate and report on their emissions and implementation efforts, and requires developed countries to assist developing countries in their climate actions.
Week 12.2 Climate Change and Politics
The document provides an overview of global and national interactions related to climate change politics. At the global level, it discusses the key players in producing climate change evidence like the IPCC and scientific journals. It also outlines several important international agreements on climate change like the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, and Paris Agreement. At the national level, it examines the climate policies and commitments of governments in countries like the US, China, Canada, and Australia at both the federal and state/provincial levels. It provides details on the key climate plans and initiatives of these different governments.
Cop 21
The document summarizes key aspects of international climate agreements, including the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, and Paris Agreement. It notes that the UNFCCC lacked enforcement but that the Kyoto Protocol set binding emission reduction targets for developed countries. The Paris Agreement set a goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing efforts for 1.5°C, along with mechanisms for countries to report progress and support for developing countries. However, it did not bind countries to specific emission reduction amounts.
The Pros And Cons Of Kyoto Protocol
The document discusses the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It was adopted in 1997 in Kyoto, Japan and has been ratified by over 190 countries. The key points are:
- The Protocol sets mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions for industrialized nations that collectively aim to reduce emissions by 5.2% below 1990 levels by 2012.
- The United States initially participated but withdrew from the treaty in 2001, citing economic concerns and the lack of participation of developing nations.
- The Kyoto Protocol represents an international effort to address the issue of global climate change through legally binding emissions reduction targets.
2019 UN Climate Action Outlook
This report analyzes global climate ambition ahead of the 2020 deadline set by the Paris Agreement. It finds that 112 nations representing 53% of emissions intend to revise their climate plans, with 75 aiming to enhance ambition on mitigation and/or adaptation. Meanwhile, 53 countries are preparing long-term strategies for carbon neutrality by mid-century. However, current climate plans still put the world on track for a 10.7% rise in emissions by 2030, underscoring the need for bolder action. The UN Secretary-General is calling for commitments at the September 2019 Climate Action Summit to halve emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero by 2050.

The_Paris_Climate_Accord.pptx
The document provides an overview of the Paris Climate Accord, including its key goals and mechanisms. The Accord aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C by requiring countries to establish emission reduction targets through nationally determined contributions. It also establishes a transparency and review process to track progress. While an important step forward, some criticisms note the Accord's non-binding nature and lack of sanctions for non-compliance may limit its effectiveness in achieving long-term temperature goals.
Global Environmental Governance: Copenhagen Accord
The Copenhagen Agreement is a document that delegates at the 15th session of the Conference of Parties (COP 15) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change agreed to "take note of" at the final plenary on 18 December 2009.
The Accord, drafted by, on the one hand, the United States and on the other, in a united position as the BASIC countries (China, India, South Africa, and Brazil), is not legally binding and does not commit countries to agree to a binding successor to the Kyoto Protocol, whose round ended in 2012.
Paris agreement cop21
The Paris Agreement is an international agreement within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to address climate change mitigation, adaptation and finance. It was adopted in Paris in December 2015 with the goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C. Key points:
- Countries submit Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) outlining domestic climate actions every 5 years, which are not legally binding.
- Developed countries committed to mobilizing $100 billion per year in climate finance.
- India aims to increase renewable energy capacity and reduce emissions and fossil fuel dependence through policies like the National Solar Mission.
- The agreement establishes a global action plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and tracking progress every 5 years

The document discusses various international climate change initiatives and partnerships, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement, and follow-ups including the Climate Ambition Summit 2020 and COP-26. It outlines India's commitments under these agreements, including pledging to reduce emissions intensity by 33-35% of 2005 levels and reaching 40% non-fossil fuel installed capacity by 2022 under the Paris Agreement. At COP-26, India committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2070 and cutting projected 2030 emissions by 1 billion tons.

This document proposes a draft agreement for consideration at the Copenhagen climate summit in December 2009. It suggests a treaty consisting of an amended Kyoto Protocol, a new Copenhagen Protocol, and decisions by the supreme body of the UNFCCC. Key elements include setting a global carbon budget to limit warming to below 2°C, legally binding emissions reduction targets for industrialized and some developing countries, and a new Copenhagen Climate Facility to oversee implementation and provide finance and technology support. Developing countries would submit low carbon action plans outlining mitigation actions and support needed, while industrialized countries would submit zero carbon action plans detailing domestic emissions cuts and international support contributions. An adaptation action framework is also proposed.

The document discusses COP28, the 28th Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. It provides context on COP and the Paris Agreement. It summarizes that COP28 will be hosted by the UAE in 2023 and the UAE presidency has committed to the conference setting a clear roadmap for an inclusive and pragmatic global energy transition and climate action.
COP 27 AND THE FIGHT AGAINST GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE.pdf
This article aims to present the objectives and limitations of COP27 in the fight against global climate change, which takes place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, between November 6 and 18, 2022. COP 27 is the 27th UN climate conference, an event that brings together governments from around the world, diplomats, scientists, members of civil society and various private entities with the aim of debating and seeking solutions to the man-made climate crisis. More than 190 countries will participate in the summit, including Brazil. The conference has been held annually since 1995 (except in 2020, because of the pandemic) and the term COP is an acronym for "Conference of the Parties", a reference to the 197 nations that agreed to a UN environmental pact in the beginning of the 1990s. The treaty, called the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), has the main objective of stabilizing the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and, thus, combating the human threat to the Earth's climate.
UN on sustainability [Unfccc]
The UNFCCC is an international treaty negotiated in 1992 aimed at stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations to prevent dangerous climate change. It provides a framework but no binding emissions limits. The Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, implemented the UNFCCC by requiring reductions in emissions by developed countries. Subsequent agreements including the Copenhagen Accord and Cancun Agreements aimed to further strengthen climate actions and support for developing countries.

The document summarizes key aspects of the Paris Agreement on climate change. It was adopted in December 2015 by 195 countries to limit global warming to well below 2°C by rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The agreement aims to guide countries' climate actions through non-binding commitments and transparency in reporting, while allowing flexibility for different national circumstances. It establishes a long-term goal of achieving a balance between emissions and removals by sinks in the second half of this century through actions that will be progressively strengthened by each country.

The document discusses some of the key challenges that may prevent negotiators from reaching an agreement at the 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference (COP21). Specifically:
1) One major legal challenge is determining the form of the international agreement, whether it will be a protocol, legal instrument, or agreed outcome under international law.
2) The role and status of the intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) submitted by countries prior to the conference is unclear in terms of how they may be renegotiated or changed post-COP21.
3) Issues around measuring and accounting for the collective impact of countries' efforts to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius and how to structure cooperative arrangements between countries.
copenhagon
Global warming refers to the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. According to the IPCC, the average global surface temperature increased by 0.74°C over the 20th century due to human emissions of greenhouse gases. Climate change describes long-term shifts in weather patterns caused by both natural factors and human activities like burning fossil fuels. The Copenhagen Climate Summit brought 193 countries together to forge an agreement to limit global temperature rise to 2°C through emissions reductions, but the final accord lacked enforcement mechanisms. Developing countries argue they should prioritize poverty reduction over emissions cuts, while developed nations want commitments from large emerging economies like China and India.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Paris agreement 2015
- 2. Amna Nadeem Mphill Chemistry Session 2021-23 Submitted to: Dr. ayub Rashid Ch. Government college and university lahore
- 5. What is Paris Agreement? An agreement done by united nations framework convention on climate change (UNFCCC). This agreement intends to reduce and mitigate greenhouse gas emission. 196 countries participated in this agreement. Nationally determined contributions (NDC’s) were taken before COP 21 in Paris.
- 6. When and Where this agreement was signed? This agreement took place at Le Bourget near Paris in France. Agreement was signed by 196 countries and adopted on 12th of December 2015. This is a 32-page agreement with 29 articles widely explained recognized at international level.
- 7. Aims of Paris Agreement To fight against global warming by maintaining global average temperature below 2◦ Celsius and must try to keep this below 1.5◦ Celsius. At present the average temperature is more than 1.5◦ Celsius.
- 8. Aims of Paris Agreement Strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change. Make developing countries financially strong so that they can fulfil the requirements to control global warming.
- 9. Targets of Paris Agreement Agreement is about 20/20/20 targets Carbon dioxide emissions reductions by 20% Work on increasing the renewable energy market share by 20% Target to increase energy efficiency by 20%
- 10. Target to reduce Greenhouse gas Limit the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activities to the same levels that trees, soil and ocean can bear naturally between 2050 to 2100.
- 11. Characteristics of Paris Agreement It mentions the need to review each country’s contribution to cutting emissions after every five years. Developed countries will ensure to help developing countries by providing them “Climate Finance”.
- 12. Characteristics of Paris Agreement Paris Agreement is a “bottom up” approach. This agreement is binding in some elements while at the same time this is non- binding too.
- 13. Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Contributions from each country would be clear to achieve the overall global goal. Contributions need to be reported after every 5 years to UNFCCC. Contributions are not legally binding.
- 16. Criticism over Paris Agreement UNFCCC report had observed that all the pledges made by countries are insufficient to meet the conservative goal of keeping temperature below 2◦ Celsius. There must be guidance to reduce emissions as this is a voluntary national caps otherwise it would be difficult to achieve the goals.
- 17. Withdrawal of US from Paris Agreement On November 4, 2019 under Donald Trump’s tenure US announced to left the agreement, and it was then out of the agreement on November 4, 2020.
- 18. Comeback of US In Paris Agreement Joe Biden came into force and he Re-Entered the Paris Agreement by knowing it’s importance.
- 19. Article 28 and Rule to Exit the Paris Agreement Article 28 allows countries to leave the agreement by following the specific rule. Countries can only leave the agreement after 3 years of enforcement of the agreement. The withdrawal is not immediate. It will take a process of about 1 year.
