Climate Policy

Climate policy is a set of laws, regulations, and economic instruments that are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of global warming caused by human activities. Its aim is to reduce the rate at which the Earth's climate is changing and the resulting negative impacts on human health, the environment, and the global economy. Climate policy is an essential tool for achieving the goals established in the Paris Agreement, a landmark international agreement that sets a goal of keeping the global average temperature rise this century to well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit). Climate policy is used to incentivize the adoption of cleaner energy sources, incentivize the development of efficient technologies, and support the adoption of climate-friendly practices in all sectors of the economy.
