2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Climate conference in France
The 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference was an international gathering of government representatives held in Paris to address climate change through negotiated agreement. Nearly 200 countries sent delegates to work toward a binding accord that would commit nations to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting global warming.
The conference took place from November 30 to December 12, 2015, as the 21st annual meeting of the Conference of the Parties. It led to the Paris Agreement, a landmark moment in international climate policy that established a framework for global climate action.
The event highlighted the global commitment to environmental preservation and sustainability.
The conference was held at multiple venues near Paris, including the Parc des Expositions in Villepinte. Today, visitors interested in the event can explore information centers and related exhibits in the region that document the meeting and its outcomes.
The agreement required all participating countries to take climate action for the first time, with each nation setting its own reduction targets. This was a turning point because earlier pacts had not bound all major emitters to participate.
