Membership in the Paris Agreement on climate change grew to 114 last week with the ratifications of Comoros and Israel. The deal, which establishes a legal framework under which nations are to pursue domestically determined climate actions, entered into force on Nov. 4, just days before the 22nd session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held earlier this month in Marrakesh, Morocco. The conference also served as the first meeting of the parties to the accord.
The agreement’s member nations represent 79 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
