The 2016 Paris Agreement, which mandated participating nations to report the amount of greenhouse gases they release into the environment and make plans to adapt to climate change, was the inspiration for the bill’s design.

A method to identify how Onep and the Meteorological Department can predict long-term climate changes is included in the expenses.
