Climes, they are a changing

An agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, The Paris Agreement, went into effect on 4 November 2016 in a bid to deal with greenhouse gas emission mitigation, adaptation and finance, and remains open for signature until 21 April 2017.
So far, it has been signed by 194 countries, including China, which has decided that the agreement applies to both Hong Kong and Macau as well.
