CEBRI Dossiers

The World After the Paris Climate Agreement of December 2015

  • 24 may 2016

Currently, there are few issues on the international political agenda that are as pressing as climate change. The already present effects of climate change indicate very significant future impacts on our planet at social, economic and even political levels. However, the greatest challenge regarding this issue is the cooperation and commitment of various countries to reach acceptable terms so that can we mitigate such effects together.


The COP21 in Paris represented an important advance in this direction, with an unprecedented number of countries reaching a final agreement.

With this publication, our goal is to reaffirm CEBRI’s commitment to raising the level of international debate on the most important issues in the contemporary world, based on our values of independence, non-partisanship, ethics, plurality and transparency, as one of the world’s most important think tanks.
