The speed with which the agreement has entered into force underlines just how much support climate action now has across the globe, the United Nations Information Center in Tehran (UNIC) reported on Saturday.

According to IRNA, Iran is one of the signatories of the agreement which was signed by representatives of nearly 200 countries.

The Paris Agreement is also an integral part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also agreed in 2015. What started as two agendas have merged into one bold vision of a better world for every man, woman and child.

Under the Paris Agreement, all nations have agreed to combat climate change and to unleash actions and investment towards a low carbon, resilient and sustainable future.
