The agreement's language was negotiated by representatives of 196 state parties at the 21st Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC in Le Bourget , near Paris , France , and adopted by consensus on 12 December 2015. [4] [5] As of November 2018, 195 UNFCCC members have signed the agreement, and 184 have become party to it.
