The Paris Climate Agreement after 10 years: Much progress in reducing the growth of emissions and setting technically feasible goals, reports @climatechangenews.com. But progress is slowing, and urgency among world governments is dissipating. www.climatechangenews.com/2025/11/07/h...
Health check: 10 years of the Paris Agreement
A decade since the deal was adopted, climate experts say it is working to cut emissions, spur action and reduce the projected temperature rise - but not as fast as we need it to
