climate agreements

Global warming treaties

Climate agreements are formal pacts between nations to address climate change, typically by limiting greenhouse gas emissions or setting environmental targets.

The Paris Agreement is the most prominent example.

Such agreements involve commitments, timelines, and monitoring mechanisms: The country withdrew from the climate agreement.

Critics debate whether climate agreements go far enough or are enforceable.
