Under the Paris Agreement adopted in 2015, the long-term temperature goal is to hold the rise in global average temperature this century well below which level above pre-industrial levels, while pursuing efforts to limit it further?
The Paris Agreement's headline goal is to hold the global temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, while pursuing efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The 2 degree figure is the ceiling and 1.5 degrees is the more ambitious aspiration.
- A1.5 degrees Celsius
- B2 degrees CelsiusCorrect
- C3 degrees Celsius
- D2.5 degrees Celsius
Explanation
The Paris Agreement aims to keep the rise in global average temperature well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The 1.5 degree figure is the more ambitious pursuit target, not the 'well below' ceiling, so option 1 is wrong as the ceiling.
