The agreement reached by 200 countries is one of the best item of news in recent times. Climate Change is here and now and serious yet there are still so many that deny it.

This long-term goal aims to limit temperatures to a level beyond which the worst impacts of climate change are expected.
Additionally, nations would attempt to limit any increase to 1.5C, which the countries most at risk from the effects of climate change say is necessary to ensure their survival.
