For all these reasons, we can confirm that this agreement will bring changes and solutions to the climate crisis for several decades. One thing is certain, this agreement will not be enough to limit the average temperature of global warming to 2°C and even less to the 1.5°C that the agreement itself deems necessary. However, for domestic political reasons in most countries and the current geopolitical reality, this is the best deal we have been able to reach. That is why we cannot place all our hope in such an international agreement and measures must be taken at all levels that involve us all. But let`s take a closer look at this new universal climate agreement. Moldova has made an unconditional commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 64-67% compared to 1990 levels; and another 11-14 percent conditionally. Given that 80% of the pledge depends on national measures, this promise was deemed sufficient. “Abandoning the Paris Agreement is cruel to future generations,” Andrew Steer, president and CEO of the World Resources Institute, said of the Trump administration`s move to formally withdraw the United States from the agreement. The U.S.

will lose jobs and the much stronger economy that will bring a low-carbon future, Steer said in a statement. India`s promise was deemed insufficient, as it will not help reduce global emissions by 50% by 2030. Yes, there is a broad consensus within the scientific community, although some deny that climate change is a problem, including politicians in the United States. When negotiating teams come together for international climate talks, “there is less skepticism about science and more disagreement about how to set priorities,” says David Victor, a professor of international relations at the University of California, San Diego. The basic research is as follows: the report, published by the Universal Ecological Fund, evaluated the first commitments of 184 countries that approved the Paris climate agreement in 2015. (Under the agreement, countries must strengthen their carbon commitments every five years.) It turned out that only 36 countries have made commitments that could meet the IPCC`s 2030 target. The rest is not ambitious or urgent enough – and many are unlikely to be achieved, it is said. Kyoto Protocol, 2005.

The Kyoto Protocol [PDF], adopted in 1997 and entered into force in 2005, was the first legally binding climate agreement. It called on industrialized countries to reduce emissions by an average of 5 per cent below their 1990 level and set up a system to monitor countries` progress. But the treaty did not require developing countries, including the major carbon emitters China and India, to act. The United States signed the agreement in 1998, but never ratified it and then withdrew its signature. Although this agreement is the first universal collective international response to a global threat that has no borders, not all countries have managed to seal an agreement that effectively limits global warming below the 2°C threshold at which climate change will be catastrophic. . . .
