The Paris Agreement turns 10 as heat rises faster than global action.
Ten years after the Paris Agreement was signed on 12 December 2015, the world is warming faster than countries are cutting emissions – even as clean energy expands and projected future warming has fallen.

Bill McKibben:
"Biden is halting the biggest #fossilfuel expansion on earth...
[NYT says] the White House has decided to pause permitting for new LNG terminals—if it’s true... this is the biggest thing a U.S. president has ever done to stand up to the fossil fuel industry.
This decision is brave, because Donald #Trump (the man who pulled us out of the #ParisClimateAccords on the grounds that #climatechange is a hoax) will attack it mercilessly."

Pt. 3: The Paris Agreement
The 2015 Paris Climate Accords is an international (almost global) treaty about the climate crisis.
Basically the whole world agreed to limit global heating well below 2°C above pre-industrial average temeratures - ideally below 1,5°C.
That would limit the impact of the climate crisis.
Climatejustice groups usually invoke the 1.5°C limit of the climate agreement.
In 2020 we were already at 1.25°C of global heating and most scientists agree that it is near impossible to stay below the 1.5°C limit now.
But there is still hope: Every policy and law put into place that helps limit the global heating even by a fraction of a degree saves lives and livelihoods.
