climate treaty
Nations' emissions agreement
A climate treaty is a formal agreement between nations to address climate change, typically by setting targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions or protecting natural resources.
The Paris Agreement is the most prominent example.
Climate treaties establish frameworks for cooperation but often face criticism for weak enforcement mechanisms: The climate treaty set ambitious goals but lacked binding penalties.
