Paris AgreementThe Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels. To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century. The Paris Agreement is a landmark in the multilateral climate change process because, for the first time, a binding agreement brings all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects. |

Coastal Hazard Wheel - UNEP-DHIThe Coastal Hazard Wheel is published by the UNEP-DHI
partnership and is developed to support coastal decision-making
at all management levels and address the challenge of coastal
climate change adaptation. It is based on a universal coastal
classification system and functions as a key for classifying a
particular coastal location, determining its hazard profile,
identifying relevant management options and communicating
coastal information. The Coastal Hazard Wheel App provides
global coastal classification data in low-moderate quality and
high quality national classifications will become gradually
available as various classification projects are implemented. |

Informal Urban Development in Europe - Experiences from Albania and GreeceInformal development is not a novel issue for Europe. The southern part of the region has long experience in dealing with this problem. Rapid economic and political change in the European region during the last twenty years has resulted in rapid population increase in many urban centers, mainly due to immigration of rural poor searching for job opportunities and better living conditions, or of internally displaced people. Increasing unplanned or informal suburban development has become an issue of major importance particularly in the transition countries. |
