The Paris Climate accord is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) dealing with issues related to and causing Global Warming.
There are three main goals under the Paris Climate Accord:

  1. Limit the rise in Global Average Temperatures to 2° C or 3.6° F above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, 2100.
  2. Reducing Carbon Footprint to Zero.
  3. Directing financial flow away from fossil fuels, towards greener and cleaner energy sources.
