Compendium of Canada's engagement in international environmental agreements and instruments. United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Paris Agreement.: En4-381/1-43-2018E-PDF
"In 2015 Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiated the Paris Agreement, which aims to keep the global average temperature from rising to dangerous levels that would create irreversible damage to the environment, i.e., “holding the increase in the global average surface temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius”. As part of the agreement, countries also committed to increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emission development, without threatening food production and making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low-emission and climate-resilient development"--Plain language summary.
