When it comes to global warming and climate change, scientists and experts tend to agree on one thing: the solution is to eliminate carbon emissions, which cause the greenhouse effect, as quickly and economically as possible. The message of concern about the problems of global warming gained greater visibility in 2015, when 175 countries signed the Paris Agreement and committed to taking measures to combat climate change.
Since then, public policies and multilateral debates have been developed by several countries with a view to sustainable development.
The list of countries most committed to combating global warming was drawn up using data from Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a UK non-governmental organization that works on energy and climate change issues. The following list indicates the target and current status of commitments made by nations seeking to combat global warming. Check it out:
