A Collective Effort to Save the Planet: Unpacking International Agreements on Climate Change

Posted on May 18, 2025 By Dante No Comments on A Collective Effort to Save the Planet: Unpacking International Agreements on Climate Change

As the effects of climate change continue to ravage our planet, it’s becoming increasingly clear that no single country can tackle this issue alone. The interconnectedness of our world means that the consequences of climate change affect us all, regardless of geographical boundaries. In response, the international community has come together to forge agreements aimed at mitigating the impacts of climate change and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

One of the most significant international agreements on climate change is the Paris Agreement, signed in 2015 by nearly 200 countries. This landmark accord sets out a global framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. The agreement also encourages countries to strive for a 1.5°C limit, recognizing the importance of urgent action to avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change.

The Paris Agreement is built on the principle of collective action, acknowledging that developed countries have a responsibility to support developing countries in their efforts to reduce emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. This commitment is reflected in the agreement’s goal of mobilizing $100 billion per year in climate finance for developing countries by 2020.

In addition to the Paris Agreement, there are several other key international agreements on climate change worth mentioning. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), signed in 1992, provides a foundation for international cooperation on climate change. The convention sets out principles and guidelines for nations to follow in addressing this global issue.

The Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, is another significant agreement that aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in developed countries. Although the protocol has some limitations, it has played an important role in raising awareness about the need for climate action and has inspired subsequent agreements, including the Paris Agreement.

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), signed in 1973, may seem unrelated to climate change at first glance. However, many species threatened by climate change are also vulnerable to overexploitation through international trade. CITES provides a framework for regulating the trade of endangered species, helping to protect biodiversity and ecosystems that are crucial for mitigating the impacts of climate change.

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, adopted in 2015, also has direct implications for climate change. The framework recognizes that climate change is a major driver of disaster risk, and it encourages countries to incorporate climate resilience into their disaster risk reduction efforts.

As the world continues to grapple with the complexities of climate change, it’s clear that international cooperation is essential for making meaningful progress. By working together, countries can pool their expertise, resources, and knowledge to develop and implement effective solutions to this global challenge.

While there is still much work to be done, the progress made through international agreements on climate change offers a glimmer of hope. By continuing to build on these agreements and pushing for greater action, we can ensure a more sustainable future for all.
