Scenarios about 'COP21'
The 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Paris where 196 parties negotiated the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation. This international treaty established a global framework to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels, while pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. In alternate history scenarios, COP21 often serves as a pivotal moment where different climate policies could dramatically alter the trajectory of global environmental outcomes.
