L’accordo di Parigi pone l’obiettivo di mantenere l’aumento della temperatura media globale ben al di sotto di 2°C rispetto ai livelli preindustriali, e proseguire l’azione volta a limitare l’aumento a 1,5°C.

Qatar is carving out a leading role for itself within international diplomacy - particularly in light of recent events in Afghanistan - through its mediation-oriented foreign policy.
