Why have a conference?The purpose of this conference is to set forth a global agreement to reduce climate change. Approximately every state adopted this Paris agreement. In order to ratify the agreement, a minimum of 55 countries that represent 55% of global greenhouse emissions. The total affect of this agreement is expected to occur in 2020, and hopefully limiting global warming by 2100.
What's the goal?A consensual goal has been reached to limit temperature increase by 1.5 degrees Celsius. However, the difficult part will be the required amount of emissions contributing to global warming which has to be kept at zero. In order to accomplish this set goal, temperature cannot increase between 2030 and 2050. Many people are angry at this set goal because it is nearly impossible, especially with so many factors involved that could increase the temperature so quickly.
