The main goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit the increase in global average temperature this century to a certain degree Celsius

The main goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit the increase in global average temperature this century to less than 2 degrees Celsius.

December 12, 2020 is the fifth anniversary of the Paris Climate Agreement. The main goal of this agreement is to control the increase in global average temperature this century within 2 degrees Celsius. The Climate Action Tracking Organization, composed of climate change research experts from many countries, released a report stating that it currently appears that by the end of this century, humans are indeed expected to approach or achieve the core goals set out in the Paris Climate Agreement through actions.

The United Kingdom, the world's first major economy to pass a net-zero carbon emissions bill, announced that by 2030, its carbon emissions will be reduced by 68% compared with 1990, a significant increase from the 53% previously committed.

The impact of global warming

Global warming will redistribute global precipitation, melt glaciers and permafrost, and raise sea levels. It will not only endanger the balance of natural ecosystems, but It also affects human health and even threatens human survival.

On the other hand, due to the emission of land-based greenhouse gases, the temperature on the mainland has increased, and the temperature difference with the ocean has become smaller, which has slowed down the air flow and prevented the haze from being blown away in a short time, causing haze in many cities. The weather increases. Measures such as restricting car traffic and suspending production have only short-term and partial effects, and cannot fundamentally change climate warming and haze pollution.
