The Paris Agreement is a global agreement to tackle climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It was adopted in 2015 by 195 countries and the European Union. However, not all countries have joined the accord.
As of 2021, there are seven countries that are not part of the Paris Agreement. These include:
1. Iran – Iran has not joined the Paris Agreement, citing concerns about the impact on its economy.
2. Iraq – Iraq has not joined the Paris Agreement because it is still recovering from years of conflict and has other priorities.
3. Libya – Libya has not joined the Paris Agreement due to political instability and conflict.
4. South Sudan – South Sudan, the world`s newest country, has not joined the Paris Agreement due to its ongoing civil war.
5. Turkey – Turkey has not joined the Paris Agreement because it believes that developing countries should have a greater role in reducing emissions.
6. Eritrea – Eritrea has not joined the Paris Agreement due to its underdeveloped economy and lack of resources.
7. Yemen – Yemen has not joined the Paris Agreement due to its ongoing civil war and political instability.
It is important to note that some of these countries have expressed interest in joining the Paris Agreement in the future. In fact, some of them have already taken steps to reduce their emissions, despite not being part of the accord.
The Paris Agreement is a crucial global effort to combat climate change, and it is important for all countries to work together towards this common goal. While there are still some countries that are not part of the accord, the majority of the world`s nations have committed to reducing their carbon emissions and mitigating the effects of climate change.
