Each country that attended the 21st Conference of the Parties agreed to cut
its emissions by a particular percent based on a base year’s emission’s level.
The United States, for example, promised to cut its emissions by up to 28%
from 2005 levels. These promises are called intended nationally determined
contributions. It was decided that each participating country would be allowed
to determine its own priorities and targets since each country has different
circumstances and a different capacity to undertake change.
