  • Secretary of State John Kerry signed the Paris agreement on climate change at the United Nations. The United States was one of 175 countries that signed the agreement, a non-binding treaty approved in December 2015. The agreement’s long-term goal is to keep any increase in the average global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) by the year 2100. Each country that signed the agreement pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by adopting an emissions target determined by that country’s government.
