The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty
on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in
Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November
2016. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below
2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial
levels. To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries
aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon
as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century.
The Paris Agreement is a landmark in the multilateral climate
change process because, for the first time, a binding
agreement brings all nations into a common cause to
undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt
to its effects.

The Coastal Hazard Wheel is published by the UNEP-DHI
partnership and is developed to support coastal decision-making
at all management levels and address the challenge of coastal
climate change adaptation. It is based on a universal coastal
classification system and functions as a key for classifying a
particular coastal location, determining its hazard profile,
identifying relevant management options and communicating
coastal information. The Coastal Hazard Wheel App provides
global coastal classification data in low-moderate quality and
high quality national classifications will become gradually
available as various classification projects are implemented.

Informal development is not a novel issue for Europe. The
southern part of the region has long experience in dealing with
this problem. Rapid economic and political change in the
European region during the last twenty years has resulted in
rapid population increase in many urban centers, mainly due to
immigration of rural poor searching for job opportunities and
better living conditions, or of internally displaced people.
Increasing unplanned or informal suburban development has become
an issue of major importance particularly in the transition
countries.
