Paris Agreement: The Paris Agreement (French: L'accord de Paris) is a legally binding international treaty on climate change United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to combat climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016. As of February 2020, all UNFCCC members have signed the agreement, 189 have become a party to it, and the only significant emitters which are not parties are Iran and Turkey. Goals of the Paris Agreement: Limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels. Reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate-neutral world by mid-century. Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs): The national pledges by countries to cut emissions are voluntary. The Paris Agreement requires all Parties to put forward their best efforts through “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs) and to strengthen these efforts in the years ahead. This includes requirements that all Parties report regularly on their emissions and on their implementation efforts. In 2018, the Parties will take stock of the collective efforts in relation to progress towards the goal set in the Paris Agreement. There will also be a global stocktake every 5 years to assess the collective progress towards achieving the purpose of the Agreement and to inform further individual actions by Parties. Hence, Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
