The federal government has formally signed up to the Paris Agreement on climate change, joining more than 100 other countries committing to help curb global carbon emissions. The move comes despite the United States' election of climate sceptic Donald Trump, who has indicated he will overhaul that country's climate policies. The almost year-old Paris Agreement commits countries to work towards limiting global warming to two degrees and sets five-yearly targets for cutting emissions. Australia delayed signing on before the July federal election. This feature reveals more details.
