In 2015, countries around the world came together to adopt international agreements on sustainability. These agreements were made with the intention of promoting sustainable development and combating climate change.
One of the most notable agreements made was the Paris Agreement, which was signed by 195 countries. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This agreement also includes commitments from countries to regularly report on their emissions, and to increase their efforts to reduce them over time.
Another important agreement made in 2015 was the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are a set of 17 goals that aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. These goals cover a wide range of issues, from poverty and hunger to clean energy and sustainable cities.
Other agreements made in 2015 include the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development, and the New Urban Agenda. Each of these agreements plays an important role in promoting sustainable development and combatting climate change.
Overall, the international agreements made in 2015 mark a significant step forward in the global effort to promote sustainability. These agreements demonstrate a shared commitment from countries around the world to work together to create a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.
