UNFCCC Climate Change Conference - COP21

From 30 November to 11 December 2015, Paris hosted COP21, the UNFCCC Climate Change Conference. COP21 resulted in a landmark agreement that strives to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, with the intent to pursue a 1.5-degree target

ICLEI was heavily involved in COP21. We facilitated the Cities & Regions Pavilion in the Climate Generations Areas, helped to organize the historic Climate Summit for Local Leaders at Paris City Hall, and advocated on behalf of local and subnational governments in the negotiating zone.
