Paper: GS – III, Subject: Environment and Ecology, Topic: Global Agreement and Efforts, Issue: Impact of Paris Agreement.
Context:
Ten years after the landmark Paris Agreement (2015) at COP21, the world stands at a crucial juncture in the fight against climate change. Despite rising global emissions and intensifying climate disasters, the Agreement has fundamentally altered the global climate trajectory.
Key Highlights:
Why the Paris Agreement Works – Fair and Inclusive Framework: Recognizes differentiated responsibilities and national circumstances.
- Supports Vulnerable Nations: Encourages climate finance, adaptation, and capacity building for developing countries.
- Promotes Solidarity: Enables cooperation through shared goals rather than rigid targets.
- The Agreement is effective because it balances justice, flexibility, and ambition ensuring every country contributes within its capacity.
Electric Mobility Revolution: Electric vehicles now make up nearly 20% of global new car sales. Advances in battery technology and energy storage have made clean transport viable.
- Benefits include reduced emissions and cleaner urban air.
Why the Paris Agreement Works:
Adaptation has become a necessity, industries are investing in sustainability, local authorities are embedding sustainability into standards and investments, and multilateralism will continue to deliver if the world continues to believe in it.
