The Paris agreement, as well as its primary factors, states that countries included should:

  • Come together every 5 years to set more ambitious targets as required by science; report to each other and the public on how well they are doing to implement their targets; track progress towards the long-term goal through a robust transparency and accountability system, which helps to keep the public in the loop.

  • Strengthen societies' ability to deal with the impacts of climate change; provide continued and enhanced international support for adaptation to developing countries. As climate change is a global problem, it's essential that countries within the agreement continue to assist those that cannot help themselves.

  • Lastly, countries should also "recognise the importance of averting, minimising and addressing loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change; acknowledge the need to cooperate and enhance the understanding, action and support in different areas such as early warning systems, emergency preparedness and risk insurance." This emphasis the need for everyone to work together.

Providing the basis of the agreement and the above is followed, effective action should occur.
