The Sendai Framework was the first of the post-2015 development instruments to be adopted in March 2015. It was followed by three other major intergovernmental agreements: the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on financing for development, adopted at a conference in Ethiopia in July 2015; Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, agreed at a summit in New York in September 2015; and Paris Agreement adopted at the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in December 2015, and which is the successor to the Kyoto Protocol.
