“Holding the increase in global average temperatures to well below 2 degree celsius above pre-industrial levels, nationally determined targets of decreasing emission levels, focus on climate resilient development.” Which climate change treaty has adopted the above goals ?
Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement was adopted at COP-21 of the UNFCCC in December 2015 and entered into force in November 2016. Article 2 sets the goal of holding the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels while pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C.
It works through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), under which every party sets its own emission-reduction targets, and it stresses adaptation and climate-resilient, low-emission development.
The Montreal Protocol (1987) protects the ozone layer by phasing out ozone-depleting substances; the Bali conference (COP-13, 2007) produced only the Bali Action Plan/Road Map; the Kyoto Protocol (1997) imposed binding, top-down targets on developed countries only, not nationally determined targets for all.
Hence, the answer is Paris Agreement.
