According to Ban Ki Moon, the UN Secretary-General, Paris agreement about global climate change will be applied in 2016. The deal has received approval from 60 countries representing approximately 48 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the world. In spite of the satisfying progress that gives high hope for the implementation of the Paris agreement, some countries are still expected to ratify this convention and fulfill the rest of the percentage which has been targeted. 

Regine Guenther as WWF Interim Leader for Climate and Energy stated that as the agreement has got plenty of support from 60 countries by giving it approval, the convention has to be turned into real actions immediately. He added that we have to avoid procrastination since we are running out of time. Therefore, the funds, the capacity, and the programs are required to make the convention real. Besides the Paris agreement, those countries are expected to join the International Civil Aviation Organization for further action on capping and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.


To make a better world, we all need to collaborate with each other. It is good to know that a lot of countries have taken part in the Paris agreement. Due to those countries awareness, the agreement is predicted to be implied this year. I hope that this convention to fight against global climate change will not stop only here, but that it is really conducted through real programs.
