MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS

Important milestone to address climate change at global level. h t l b ll l A political document with confusing negotiations. No legal status status. Implications are subject to debate. Commitment of all major economies to take concrete action on GHG EMISSION EMISSION. TARGET IS TO LIMIT THE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE RISE TO 2°C. Lack of internationally agreed medium or y g pathway. Neither a perfect nor a final global climate deal. Has H a potential to unlock th problem of t ti l t l k the bl f climate change if implemented with ambition & spirit of co-operation.
