Paris climate agreement is a accord made by different countries of the world. This accord wants to better the climate, fighting against climate change.
The key elements for get the objective are fall the global temperatures, review the reduction of gases in each country and the rich countries help to the poor countries to adapt to climate change and switch to renewable energy.
This agreement has as weakness the money because would need more and this make that have less projects. But Paris is only the start and still have many things that to do.
Before they tired start a project for protect the environment. This project, Kyoto Protocol was a agreement create in 1997 and it wanted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The accord did not work because the US pulled out and other failed to comply.

In my opinion this is a good way of invest money because the climate change affect everyone. So i think that would have to make more project with this objective and don't spend so much many in unnecessary things. Also I believe, and want be wrong, that we will not obtain proposed goals.
