The Embassy of France in Haiti welcomes the ratification by the Haitian Parliament https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-19990-icihaiti-environment-ratification-of-the-universal-climate-agreement.html of the Universal Climate Agreement adopted in Paris on 12 December 2015 at the end of COP21 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17231-haiti-environment-dieuseul-desras-to-the-signing-ceremony-of-the-paris-agreement-cop21.html

By this vote, Haiti joins the list of 127 countries representing more than 81% of the global emissions of greenhouse gases that have already ratified this historic agreement entered into force on 4 November 2016.

This positive step reflects Haiti's commitment to working towards sustainable development and will allow it to benefit from increased support to implement the climate change adaptation measures foreseen in its national contribution https://www.haitilibre.com/docs/CPDN_Republique-d-Haiti.pdf , including through the Green Climate Fund.

France welcomes this progress that offers new perspectives to work together on the climatic issues essential to the country.
