Summary
The historic Paris Agreement of 2015 (Paris Agreement) stands as the international acknowledgement of the magnitude and immediacy of global climate change, arguably the most challenging crisis now facing humanity. The dangers had been signalled and broadly known for years. Scientific studies of the time had already pointed to the seriousness of observed climate changes, necessitating the calling of the First World Climate Conference held in Geneva in 1979 and the creation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. The adoption of the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1994, and the multitude of reports issued since then, with their updated and worldwide assessments of the scientific and associated information, underscore the global scale and effects of climate impacts.
