Paris Agreement

Paris Agreement

On Friday, November 4 the Paris Agreement on Climate Change came into effect. It clarfies the obligation of all countries to make reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. Two members of the Faculty of Arts and Science, Damon Matthews, associate professor in the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment, and Peter Stoett, professor in the Department of Political Science, published an op-ed about the agreement in The Montreal Gazette. Matthews and Stoett can weigh in on the advantages and disadvantages of the agreement and what it might mean for addressing the issue of climate change.
