Paris Agreement
Paris Agreement
2.1
Formålet med denne aftale, som forbedrer gennemførelsen af konventionen, herunder af dennes mål, er at styrke den globale reaktion på truslen fra klimaændringer inden for rammerne af bæredygtig udvikling og indsatsen for at udrydde fattigdom, bl.a. ved at:

4.1
For at nå det langsigtede temperaturmål, som er fastlagt i artikel 2, sigter parterne mod at nå toppen af drivhusgasemissionerne så hurtigt som muligt globalt set, samtidig med at det anerkendes, at udviklingslandsparterne vil være længere om at nå toppen; parterne sigter mod derefter at gennemføre hurtige reduktioner i overensstemmelse med den bedste forhåndenværende videnskab, således at der i anden halvdel af dette århundrede opnås balance mellem menneskeskabte drivhusgasemissioner fordelt på kilder og optaget heraf fordelt på dræn, hvilket skal ske på et retfærdigt grundlag og inden for rammerne af bæredygtig udvikling og indsatsen for at udrydde fattigdom.
4.19
Alle parter bør stræbe efter at formulere og kommunikere langsigtede udviklingsstrategier med henblik på at opnå lave drivhusgasemissioner under hensyntagen til artikel 2 og deres fælles, men differentierede ansvar og respektive muligheder i lyset af forskellige nationale forhold.
6.1
Parterne anerkender, at nogle parter vælger frivilligt samarbejde i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af deres nationalt bestemte bidrag for at kunne iværksætte mere ambitiøse modvirknings- og tilpasningsforanstaltninger og fremme bæredygtig udvikling og miljømæssig integritet.
