Under the Paris Agreement (2015), 197 countries have committed to sustainable development goals to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.50C above pre-industrial levels in order to avoid the most severe impacts of climate change. At the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), 147 countries pledged to develop and implement measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to achieve net zero emissions (Net Zero). At this conference, with many other countries around the world, Scotland, United Kingdom and Vietnam expressed strong commitment to achieve “Net Zero” by 2050.
