Summary

According to the draft, Estonia will ratify the Paris Agreement on the global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Estonia has set itself the goal of ratifying the Paris Agreement for the climate conference in Marrakesh starting in November. The main goal of the climate agreement is to keep the global average temperature increase well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial times. To this end, countries committed to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions emissions. Among other things, the Paris Agreement establishes binding greenhouse gas reduction target levels and a reporting system, provides for a dynamic mechanism that allows the commitments to be evaluated and increased over time, as well as climate change-related financing activities and a long-term climate change adaptation plan. The climate agreement was adopted with the participation of 195 countries on the 21st of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. at the conference that took place last October in Paris. The agreement enters into force on the 30th day after at least 55 contracting parties, whose greenhouse gas emissions together account for at least 55 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, have deposited their instruments of ratification, acceptance or accession.
