The Paris Climate Accord (aka the Paris Agreement or Paris Accord) is the world's first comprehensive climate agreement, went into effect on Nov. 4, 2016, under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Enacted by former President Barack Obama. The Paris Agreement's central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degree C. Since the vast majority of climate scientists agree the Earth is warming due to an increase in greenhouse gases, much of which is produced by human activity, it's important that high-pollution nations like China, India, and the U.S. contribute to a global plan of action.
