THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE ROLE OF THE PARIS AGREEMENT IN MAINTAINING THE RATE OF TEMPERATURE RISE

Abstract

Climate change is one of the greatest and most pressing global challenges of our time, as scientific evidence indicates that greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities that cause global warming have actually contributed over the past 150 years to an increase in average global temperatures by about 1.0 degrees Celsius above levels Pre-industrial, and global warming is likely - if it continues to rise at the current rate - to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels between 2030 and 2052.The 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change is a very important legal step. This agreement came after a long series of difficult international conferences and discussions, where the parties to the United Nations Emergency Convention on Climate Change had to overcome their national interests on the one hand and create a modern international legal base equipped with effective and non-traditional mechanisms in order to protect the environment on the other hand. It can be said that the Paris Agreement is not just a complementary agreement or dependent on a previous declaration or agreement, but rather it is a fundamental turning point in the rules of international law for the protection of the environment.
