Abstract

This research evaluates the impact of global agreements on combating climate change and advancing sustainable development. Focusing on the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the study employs qualitative research methods to analyze information from various sources. The Paris Agreement, ratified by 190 countries, outlines a global action plan to limit global warming, emphasizing the need to stay below 2 degrees Celsius and pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The study explores the effectiveness of global agreements by examining their impact on biodiversity, economic ramifications, and mitigation and adaptation strategies. Climate change emerges as a significant driver of global biodiversity loss, affecting species dynamics. The economic sector, particularly agriculture, faces challenges due to climate change, necessitating the formulation of effective climate policy contracts. Mitigation strategies, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and sustainable land use practices, are discussed, along with adaptation strategies involving resilient infrastructure and policies to protect vulnerable communities. The role of international cooperation is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and financial support for developing countries. While global agreements have made progress in mobilizing global action, challenges persist in their implementation. Sustained political will, financial support, and enhanced international cooperation are deemed essential for achieving the goals of these agreements. The study concludes with recommendations to strengthen
