Now more than ever, climate change has taken centre stage. The need for urgent action is being stressed by scientists, businesses, civil society groups and religious leaders. The landmark Paris Agreement adopted at the 21st Conference of Parties (COP21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in December 2015 provides a good foundation for moving forward. Over 180 countries have set out their climate targets and commitments in ‘Intended Nationally Determined Contributions’ (INDCs) which are to be regularly assessed and revised. Policy-makers are now turning to the challenging task of putting in place concrete actions to meet the agreed commitments. |
