The Paris Agreement matters

The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015 at the COP21 conference in Paris, is a global treaty to combat climate change by limiting global warming to below 2°C, with efforts toward 1.5°C. It unites nations to reduce emissions, adapt to climate impacts, and finance green solutions. For Amsterdam, it drives policies promoting renewable energy, sustainable urban planning, and reduced carbon emissions, enhancing the city’s resilience to climate change while benefiting citizens with cleaner air and greener spaces.

why it is necessary to commit to the Paris Agreement targets for 2050

Achieving energy neutrality by 2050 means that Amsterdam must embrace innovative practices and technologies that reduce energy consumption while maximizing the use of renewable resources. This includes enhancing promoting energy-efficient buildings and public transport, and encouraging the use of solar and wind energy. The city has already begun this journey with initiatives like the Climate Agreement and various green projects aimed at improving urban resilience. For residents, the path to a sustainable future involves not only collective action at the municipal level but also individual efforts, such as reducing waste, conserving energy, and supporting local green initiatives. Together, Amsterdammers can contribute to a healthier planet while enhancing their quality of life.
