Promoting emissions-trading (cap and trade) for countries to implement, and included other mitigation strategies. 

Emphasized the need for global cooperation, and was one of many UN treaties. ]]> 2021-01-14 04:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085746795 Paris Climate Agreement 21kenshinu https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085747210 195 countries @ COP 21, 2015 agreement that set the goal of limiting rising temperatures to no more than 2°C. 

Did not have subclauses with details that actually have substance on how it's going to be done, but only major objectives and the 'architecture' (as Obama puts it). 
Review every 5 years and set goals.

US pulled out when Trump took office, but Biden will rejoin it.  ]]> 2021-01-14 04:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085747210 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 21kenshinu https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085747415 Collects and evaluates the data, UN based organization]]> 2021-01-14 04:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085747415 NAP global network 21kenshinu https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085747825 Organization focusing on helping countries make national adaptation strategies, offering technical and financial supports]]> 2021-01-14 04:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085747825 Pro's and Con's of Solar energy 21kenshinu https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085748567 + Renewable
+ Relatively inexpensive now
+ Can be installed on homes and buildings' roofs, which could let households sell energy. 

- Needs a lot of precious metals produce 
- Difficult to recycle, but breaks down pretty easily
- Needs a lot of space

+ Large output of energy/dam
+ Creates jobs in construction
+ Relatively more consistent output of energy, water can be used as a means of storing energy

- Infrastructure is expensive to maintain in long run, average life span is 50 years
- Blocks sediment (coastal erosion) and migration of fish
- Could cause political tensions from countries restricting each other's water supplies]]> 2021-01-14 04:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085748911 Pros' and Con's of Nuclear energy 21kenshinu https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085749722 + Creates massive amounts of energy
+ Releases no CO2 to generate energy
+ Cheaper than fossil fuels 
+ Accidents are rare

- Accidents can be severe
- Non renewable, uranium is difficult to extract
- Generates hazardous radioactive waste we have no way of dealing with present technology
-  Technology can be easily adapted to create nuclear warheads
- Countries that can use nuclear energy is restricted by the International Atomic Energy Agency]]> 2021-01-14 04:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085749722 Pro's and Con's of Wind energy 21kenshinu https://padlet.com/21kenshinu/7ClimateChange/wish/1085749983 + Renewable

  • Intensified weather patterns
    • More drought
    • More flooding
    • Ice caps melt, sea levels rise, more dangerous weather patterns
    • Wildfires
  • Rapid extinction, reversing half a billion years of evolution
  • Sunny-day flooding in Miami
  • 50% of all coral lost in last 30 years
