Climaternchange has become an undisputed fact and it is threatening the globe, and this is why states haverntried to come up with international law solutions for the past half a century. The most resent ofrnthese is the 2015 Paris climate agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention onrnClimate change. This paper explains the basic structure of and commitments under The ParisrnAgreement. The paper argues that there has been a big step taken by Ethiopia towards thernimplementation of its policy commitments under The Paris Agreement, although thernpracticability of these policy instruments is not yet proved positive.
