5. The Importance of climate change and the current situation.

Global temperatures have risen by 1.2°C since the 19th century, causing significant environmental and social impacts. Despite agreements, action remains insufficient, highlighting the need for stronger legal measures.

Main Climate Change Legislation:

The Paris Agreement (2015)

Global pact to limit temperature rise below 2°C (ideally 1.5°C). Countries set and review emission targets (NDCs) every five years.

The Kyoto Protocol (1997)

First binding agreement requiring developed nations to cut emissions by 5.2% (1990 levels) from 2008–2012, though not all major polluters participated.

National laws

Examples include the EU Green Deal targeting carbon neutrality by 2050 and the UK’s net-zero emissions plan, which includes imported goods.
