The Paris agreement on climate change entered into force on 4 November, the first agreement by governments on legally binding limits to global temperature rises. Under the agreement, all nations have agreed to combat climate change and to “unleash actions and investment towards a low carbon, resilient and sustainable future that will keep a global average temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius with the accepted international aim of working to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius”, the UN said.
