1. “2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference”

2. Representatives from 196 nations made a historic pact Saturday, agreeing to adopt green energy sources, cut down on climate change emissions and limit the rise of global temperatures — while also cooperating to cope with the impact of unavoidable climate change. The deal still needs to be adopted by individual governments — but the acceptance by the diplomats gathered in Paris has been hailed as "transformative.” The agreement acknowledges that the threat of climate change is "urgent and potentially irreversible," and can only be addressed through "the widest possible cooperation by all countries" and "deep reductions in global emissions.” While the goals are ambitious and exciting questions such as how deep will those reductions be — and how soon, and who's paying for it still remain. Phase One reads "Holding the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 degrees C above pre-industrial levels...” Limiting the rise in temperature to 2 degrees (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) has been discussed as a global goal for several years now but is now laid out and adopted as the expectation. That amount of warming will still have a substantial impact, scientists say, but will be less devastating than allowing temperatures to rise unchecked.
