\"Day<\/a>The Paris climate change agreement is now in force.\u00a0 After more than 30 years of talking now is the time for action.\u00a0 I was amazed to think that it is nearly a year since and some others cycled to Paris<\/a> (or part way) to lobby for a climate change agreement.<\/p>\n

What does it mean?\u00a0 It comments the world to trying to limit global temperature rises to 1.5%.\u00a0 It is not binding in this regard but relies on voluntary pledges.\u00a0 However the raising of these pledges is legally binding on the signatories.\u00a0 There are a whole heap of other measures about mitigation and other stuff some of which is binding and and some not.<\/p>\n

Its not perfect.\u00a0 So far the pledges are not sufficient to meet a 2% target.\u00a0 However as I have blogged about this week there are big changes in the energy system taking place particularly regarding coal<\/a>.\u00a0 It is probable that global emissions will start to fall faster than we think, lets hope so anyway.\u00a0 There are lots of challenges ahead, not least the threat of a Trump presidency.\u00a0 Its now time for all of us to play our part, lots of ideas in our book<\/a>.\u00a0 But for the moment all I can say is “praise the Lord”.\u00a0 I thought this day would never come.<\/p>\n
