The United Nations Framework Climate Change Conference 2015
 |
| The United Nations Framework Climate Change Conference 2015 |
World
leaders gather every year for the United Nations Framework Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC) to assess progress in dealing with climate change and
negotiate protocols and treaties between countries to further address the
plethora of issues. This includes plans for sustainability, funding and
implementing renewable energy sources, and updating urban planning ideas and
guidelines with energy efficiency and green building in mind; all of which is
intended to meet the goal of dramatically reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
In
2015, the United Nations Climate Change Conference will meet again in Le
Bourget, a northeastern suburb of Paris, France. Running from November 30th
to December 11th, the 2015 meeting will be the 21st
yearly session and focus on developing and funding the Green Climate Fund (GCF)
and setting carbon pricing.
The
GCF will transfer money from developed countries to underdeveloped countries,
aiding them in investing in renewable energy, sustainable mass transportation,
and green building projects. Perhaps the most contentious topic to be discussed
is carbon pricing, where countries will be charged for their carbon dioxide
emissions...
