The Paris accord on climate change will help us dea with our inherent vulnerability to the harmful effects of climate change. The agreement is based on the principle and ambition of keeping the rise in global average temperature between 2 and 1.5 degrees by the end this century. Low carbon emissions and stabilisation of temperature will diminish the negative impacts on the region’s glacial topography on which the survival of our country is so heavily dependent.
But at the same time, the agreement’s compliance will require a long-term policy perspective, aiming at adapting to the inevitable consequences of climate threats and shifting towards low emission development pathways. The Paris agreement has come up with practical solutions including financial assistance, technology transfer and capacity building.
