Marion LEMOINE. – Formally, it is a “COP decision”. It is not a legally binding international treaty, like the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. (which institutionalized the COPs, Editor’s note) or the 2015 Paris Agreement (which set the objective of limiting warming to 1.5 °C). It nonetheless remains a very important document.
