The Paris Agreement is a landmark international treaty that unites nations in the fight against climate change by aiming to limit global warming to 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels. This accord emphasizes the collective responsibility of all countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and address loss and damage. One of the core obligations of all 195 countries that have ratified the agreement, is that every 5 years they submit a climate plan, called a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), with national climate targets and plans.
