Study Figure 1, which compares two international environmental agreements.
Figure 1: Two environmental agreements
Montreal Protocol (1987) | Paris Agreement (2015) | |
|---|---|---|
Aim | ban ozone-depleting substances (CFCs) | limit warming to well below 2°C |
Membership | ratified by all 197 UN states | many states, some withdrawals |
Enforcement | binding limits on ~100 substances | voluntary NDCs, not enforceable |
Outcome | ozone recovering, full recovery expected by 2070 | progress slow; widely seen as a partial failure |
