Goedkeuring van de op 12 december 2015 te Parijs tot stand gekomen Overeenkomst van Parijs (Trb. 2016, 94 en Trb. 2016, 162)

This is a Dutch parliamentary bill to approve the Paris Agreement, the international climate treaty adopted in Paris on 12 December 2015. The agreement sets a long-term goal of holding global warming well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. Parties commit to national emission-reduction plans and to regular reporting on progress. The Tweede Kamer's approval allows the Netherlands to ratify the treaty under its constitutional process. The main effect is on the Dutch state, which takes on the treaty's commitments on emissions reduction, adaptation, and climate finance. Dutch businesses, public bodies, and citizens may be affected indirectly through national climate policy that follows from these commitments. This summary is based on the procedure metadata only, not the full treaty or bill text.
