Overview

The Paris Agreement was adopted by 196 Parties at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, France, on 12 December 2015. Its overarching goal is to hold “the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels” and pursue efforts “to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels”.

Overall, efforts under the Paris Agreement are guided by its aim of making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development.

ICMA will hold a conference in Paris to review the progress made 10 years after the signing of the Paris Agreement and to consider whether the debt capital market is adequately delivering on its commitments.

Admission: This in-person event is free to attend and open to ICMA members and interested market participants. Register now.
