Climate Change: Closing the COP21 Gap by Going Solar
... Executive Summary At the COP21 UN Climate Change Conference in Paris in December 2015, 195 countries agreed to reduce or curb greenhouse gas emissions so as to limit global warming to well below 2°C, ideally to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. With a joint agreement to achieve net zero emissions ...
