The European Commission presented a proposal for the European Union to ratify the Paris Agreement, a legally binding deal to tackle climate change.

This proposal follows the successful conclusion of the COP21 in Paris, as well as the Commission´s full assessment of the Paris Agreement presented in March 2016. The Paris Agreement is an opportunity for achieving broader sustainable development goals, as well the EU’s priorities of investment, competitiveness, circular economy, research, innovation and energy’s transition. Chemistry will be playing a major role in providing solutions to reach the Paris Agreement targets.
