Climate COP31 Australia Solar

A report says the world has failed to slow or stop global warming trends in the past five years because plans weren’t realized and efforts that would have helped were canceled out. The grim assessment came during a U.N. climate meeting in Turkey where more government leaders were due to speak Thursday about their climate plans. The independent Climate Action Tracker said climate action has essentially stalled for five years. In contrast, the world did so much in the first five years after the 2015 Paris Agreement, it trimmed an entire degree Celsius from warming projections. The report's lead author said nations' newest promises won't “move the needle” of project warming and countries need to make stronger targets.
