Ten years of the Paris Climate Agreement: 'The success of the deal is at a crucial tipping point'
- In the Paris Climate Agreement, countries agreed to strive for a maximum global warming of 1.5°C.
- But the Earth is already warmer, countries and companies are weakening climate ambitions and the US has again withdrawn from 'Paris'.
- Nevertheless, three experts strongly involved in the climate issue believe that the Paris Agreement has brought many good things.
- However, countries should continue with the implementation on a smaller scale, otherwise the deal will still fail.
The Paris Climate Agreement is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. But there is little reason to celebrate. The historic agreement has often been under pressure in its short existence, but never as much as now. Three experts take stock. Is the Paris deal a success or a failure? And what does the future hold?
