The Paris Agreement On Climate Change: A Better Chance To Tackling Global Climate Change - 9781523890705

The Paris agreement focuses on confronting the climate crisis, and sending a critical message about the collective international obligation to turn away from fossil fuels. For the first time, poor and rich countries alike committed to curbing the greenhouse gas emissions that serve as the drivers for global warming by phasing out their reliance on carbon fuels in favor of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. The Paris accord marks a turning point for the planet. World leaders now acknowledge that climate change has and will continue to exact an incalculable toll on the world's people, especially the most vulnerable. It gives testament to the power of a mobilized global movement demanding universal and decisive action to avert a devastating climate breakdown. The accord requires countries to develop and submit detailed plans to curb CO2 emissions. States are required to submit to the ratchet mechanism, a framework that mandates them to return to the table every five years to review their emission reduction targets and spell out plans for progressively deeper cuts. Michael as an environmental manager and an environmentalist does a very powerful job to bringing the problem of global warming and climate change in a very explainable manner that even a layman will understand. The book is extremely important for everyone who wishes to come to grasp with the issue of climate change and global warming and wants to really understand exactly what was agreed upon in paris. Reading the book makes one develop instant love, understanding, protection and care for our environment for a greener and better environment for all.
