The Paris Agreement was adopted on December 12, 2015, at COP21 in Paris, under the UNFCCC. It aims to limit global warming to below 2°C (preferably 1.5°C) above pre-industrial levels, with nations committing to nationally determined contributions (NDCs). The CIPS L3M6 module highlights its significance in driving environmental policies that affect procurement, such as carbon reduction targets influencing supply chain decisions. Unlike 1992 (UNFCCC), 1997 (Kyoto), or 2005 (Kyoto entry), 2015 marks this pivotal global commitment in LO2’s timeline.
