the paris agreement () is an agreement within the united nations framework convention on climate change (unfccc), dealing with greenhouse-gas-emissions mitigation, adaptation, and finance, signed in 2016. the agreement's language was negotiated by representatives of 196 state parties at the 21st conference of the parties of the unfccc in le bourget, near paris, france, and adopted by consensus on 12 december 2015. as of march 2019, 195 unfccc members have signed the agreement, and 186 have become party to it. the paris agreement's long-term goal is to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °c above pre-industrial levels; and to limit the increase to 1.5 °c, since this would substantially reduce the risks and effects of climate change.

national communication (paris agreement)









































a "national communication" is a type of report submitted by the countries that have ratified the paris agreement under the united nations framework convention on climate change. countries listed in annex i of the agreement (mostly industrialized countries) are obliged to submit frequent national communications. non-annex i countries do so less frequently. some smaller non-annex i countries have not submitted national communications in the past 5–15 years, leaving their contributions to climate change mitigation unclear in spite of their ratification of the paris agreement.
