In 2015, 196 countries adopted the Paris Agreement: the world’s first ever legally binding treaty on climate change having the goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C or maximum 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Eight years on, so much has happened – both in terms of climate change and climate action.
On Friday 27 October the European Climate Stocktake event – EU and global progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement was organised to reflect on the EU and the world’s progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement.
