The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, sets a long-term goal of keeping global temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius, preferably limiting it to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.

The IPCC's primary role is to assess scientific, technical, and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts, and options for adaptation and mitigation.

Finland was the first country to introduce a carbon tax in 1990, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the cost of fossil fuel consumption.

The GCF's primary objective is to provide financial support to developing countries for climate change adaptation and mitigation projects, helping them build resilience and reduce emissions.

The UNFCCC is the primary international organization tasked with coordinating global efforts to address climate change, facilitating international cooperation and negotiations on climate change policies.

Climate change mainstreaming refers to the process of incorporating climate change considerations into policies, strategies, and actions across all sectors and levels of government, ensuring that climate change is taken into account in decision-making.

The United States has the highest per capita greenhouse gas emissions among major economies, contributing significantly to global emissions.

The Kyoto Protocol's primary objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from developed countries, aiming to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that prevents dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.

China is the world leader in renewable energy production, accounting for a significant share of global renewable energy capacity and generation.

Climate change mitigation refers to efforts aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing carbon sinks, with the goal of limiting the magnitude and rate of climate change.

China is the largest consumer of coal globally, accounting for a significant portion of global coal consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions.

The CDM is a mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol that allows developed countries to invest in emission reduction projects in developing countries, generating tradable carbon credits that can be used to meet their own emission reduction targets.

The United States is the largest consumer of natural gas globally, accounting for a significant portion of global natural gas consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate change adaptation refers to efforts aimed at adjusting to the impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels, changing weather patterns, and extreme weather events, to minimize their negative consequences.

The United States is the largest consumer of oil globally, accounting for a significant portion of global oil consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
