PARIS — Delegates from 195 countries approved on Saturday a historic climate accord that seeks to slow the rise of greenhouse gases blamed for putting Earth on a dangerous warming path.
Called the Paris Agreement, the document is the result of five sets of grueling negotiations this year. It seeks to limit rising temperatures to within 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) compared to pre-industrial levels through the year 2100.
