Abstract

The previous studies on Paris Agreement almost only analyzed the single field related to it, such as international cooperation and low-carbon economy. Therefore, this study will make an overall consideration of the Paris Agreement. In the sixth year after the implementation of the Paris Agreement, this study evaluates the effectiveness of the Paris Agreement under the circumstance that various scholars and academic circles attach great importance to climate change. In accordance with the chronological and systematic archival research methods, this study clearly sorted out information related to climate change and global governance in the context of the signing of the Paris Agreement by citing empirical literature and analytical theoretical knowledge. This study analyzed the “scholars views on climate change”, for example, in international cooperation in the field of climate change is compare difficult, “the Paris agreement itself”, namely, the main goal of target, NDC and some related regulations, the implementation of “the Paris agreement” triple dilemma, such as the global inventory for further analysis, assess the effectiveness of the Paris Agreement. According to the above analysis, the Paris agreement can only be said to be relatively effective. At the end of the paper, the author also evaluates this research.
