Breaching 2-Degree Goal Could Melt Massive Ice Sheet On Earth: Study
Breaching the Paris Agreement's temperature goal of two degrees Celsius could significantly melt the Filchner Ronne Ice Shelf in Antarctica, the second largest ice sheet on Earth, and could substantially contribute to raising global sea levels.

Parts of World to Get Dangerously Hot Even if Climate Change Goals Are Met: Study
A new study suggests that even if we achieve the goal set up by the Paris Agreement, tropics and subtropics regions will experience dangerously sweltering temperatures during most days of the year by 2100. The countries in these regions include India, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula.

Carbon Emission Cuts Need To Be 80% More Ambitious To Meet Paris Agreement Targets: Study
Carbon emission cuts need to be about 80 per cent more ambitious to stay below 2 degree Celsius global warming -- considered a threshold for climate stability and climate-related risks such as excessive heat, drought, extreme weather and sea level rise -- a new study says.

India Can't Achieve 2-Degree Reduction In Global Warming By 2030: Study
India will not be able to reduce global warming by 2 degrees Celsius by 2030 as envisaged in the landmark Paris Agreement due to gaps between the projections and the current policies of the government aimed at achieving it, according to a new report.

Keeping It Real: UN Climate Talks Struggle To Stay Relevant
The 196-nation Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, enjoins the world to cap the rise in temperature at "well below" 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), a goal barely within reach that still may not save Fiji and dozens of small island states

Earth's Temperature Likely To Rise More Than What Paris Accord Predicts: Study
Our planet may see a temperature increase of 2 to 4.9 degrees Celsius over the next 80 years, much higher than the target set by the 2016 Paris Agreement, a study has found.

India, China, EU To Lead If US Withdraws From Paris Pact: UNEP Chief
Even if the US pulls out of the Paris Agreement, as President Donald Trump has threatened to do, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) will bank on India, China and the European Union (EU) and India for the success of the accord, which aims to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius, if now below 1.5 degrees Celsius, above pre-...

Fossil Fuel-Driven Cars Will Need To Go By 2035 To Meet Paris Climate Accord Goals
A recent study by Climate Action Tracker (CAT) concluded that in order to meet the Paris Agreement's goal to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C the last petrol or diesel-powered passenger vehicle will have to be sold by 2035.

What the COP21 Climate Change Summit in Paris is All About
The 21st United Nations Conference of the Parties, or COP21, which will begin in Paris today, aims to unite around 150 nations for a single agreement on tackling climate change. The idea is to cap the rate of global warming at 2 degrees Celsius - compared to the current 2.5 to 3.76 degrees Celsius. This will be done by, among other things, reducing...
