<ul>
<li>The sun sends light and heat to the Earth.</li>
<li>Part of this heat is absorbed by Earth, which heats her up and in turn, this heat heats the air just above the terrestrial surface.</li>
<li>Part of this heat is sent to space in the form of infrared radiation (heat). <strong>This maintains Earth's temperature to an acceptable level for life, by keeping it warmer than if there were no gases at all.</strong></li>

This is what we call climate change, and it has severe consequences for the environment and for life on Earth.</p>

<p><span class="fa fa-hand-o-right" aria-hidden="true"></span>It recognises that responsibility when fighting against climate change is shared by all countries, but that countries have different capacity and hold different levels of responsibility in this matter, based on economic development, historic emissions and their technological capabilities.</p>
<p><span class="fa fa-hand-o-right" aria-hidden="true"></span>It establishes different mechanisms for goals to be met, including commitments to reducing greenhouse gases in developed countries, funding mechanisms and technological transfers to developing countries, as well as international cooperation frameworks for research and development of climate solutions.</p>
