The Paris climate agreement just passed a crucial threshold
‘Last December, nearly 200 countries signed an agreement in Paris pledging to keep the world well below 2 degrees Celsius of warming in an effort to stave off the worst impacts of climate change. Now, that pledge looks closer than ever to becoming a reality.
On Wednesday morning, 31 countries officially ratified the Paris climate agreement, pushing it over one of the required thresholds needed for the agreement to enter into force.
Sixty parties, representing 48 percent of the world’s emissions, have now officially joined.

That means that the agreement needs just 7 percent more greenhouse gas emissions before the agreement can enter into force.’
