Answer 1: COP stands for “Conference of the Parties”.

Answer 2: At COP21 in Paris, world leaders pledged to try to prevent the global temperature from rising by more than 1.5C.

It saw almost all the world’s nations – for the first time – agree in 2015 to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming.

Answer 3: The year 2023 is the hottest everdriven by human-caused climate change and enhanced by the natural weather event El Niño.

But forecasts from the European Climate Service say it is now “almost certain”. 2024 will be the world’s hottest ever.
