If Trump Were to Pull the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement Again, It Will Be Much Harder to Rejoin

A potential second withdrawal of the United States from the Paris climate agreement under a Trump administration could have more significant implications due to faster exit terms and potential impacts on global climate aid and the UNFCCC.

Fossil fuel phaseout: on the cusp of history at COP28

Countries may push through an agreement at the UN climate summit that calls for the reduction in fossil fuel use and scaling up of renewables.
A strong agreement would send a clear signal to policymakers and the energy sector about the direction to head in.

UAE, Azerbaijan, Brazil join forces to limit global warming to 1.5C

The United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan and Brazil are forming a troika to push for an international agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The troika partnership aims to enhance international cooperation and stimulate ambition in the next round of countries' climate targets.

Greenhouse gas emissions soar with China, US and India most at fault

China and India's electricity generation and US oil and gas production have contributed the most to global greenhouse gas emissions since 2015.
Methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, have also increased despite countries pledging to reduce them.

UK likely to miss Paris climate targets by wide margin, analysis shows

The UK government is likely to miss its targets under the Paris climate agreement by a wide margin.
Current policies would only achieve just over half of the emissions cuts needed by 2030.

Doubling Energy-Efficiency Gains Is Necessary to Meet Climate Goals

Countries need to double their energy efficiency gains to meet emissions reductions required by the Paris climate agreement.
Developing countries need to make the most significant improvements in energy efficiency.
IEA recommends doubling energy efficiency gains as one of the key climate action items for COP28.

What happens if the 1.5C target for global heating is missed?

The world's most ambitious climate target of limiting global heating to 1.5C is under threat.
Abandoning this target would have significant implications for the planet and its inhabitants.

Annual Climate Negotiations Are About To Start. Do They Matter? | KQED

The 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) is happening to review progress towards the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Global greenhouse gas emissions are still rising, and the planet is on track for at least 2.5 degrees Celsius of warming by the end of the century.
Last year's COP27 meeting ended with a watered-down agreement that excluded language for a phaseout of fossil fuels.
