The Paris Agreement enters into force

The agreement enters into force thirty days after the threshold of ratification by at least fifty-five parties accounting for at least fifty-five per cent of global emissions is crossed — far faster than negotiators had expected when the text was adopted eleven months earlier. The speed was itself a diplomatic signal, and it meant that the withdrawal provisions, which require a party to wait before notifying and then a further year before withdrawal takes effect, became operative earlier than anticipated.

Historical — it happened, and the record is settled.
