Industry leaders hail UK's signing of Paris climate change deal

摘要

Industry leaders have welcomed the government's formal ratification of the Paris climate agreement, the first comprehensive global agreement to tackle climate change. Foreign secretary Boris Johnson signed the document last Thursday. The main aim of the Paris agreement is to step up the global response to climate change to keep global temperatures to no more than 2℃ higher than pre-industrial levels, and ideally just 1.5℃ warmer.
