The Paris Agreement on climate change: what legacy?

Laurence Tubiana and Emmanuel Guérin

Chapter 8 in Standing up for a Sustainable World, 2020, pp 103-115 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The Paris Agreement on climate change was adopted in 2015 and entered into force in 2016 with the explicit intent of addressing the shortcomings of previous Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEA), building on the lessons learned from previous essays and errors in crafting a truly global and effective climate agreement. It was also designed with the view to providing a durable but dynamic framework for reducing global Green House Gases (GHG) emissions, building resilience to the effects of climate change, and reorienting financial flows and technological investments towards the objectives of climate change mitigation and adaptation.
