Ten years after the historic Paris Agreement the world looks quite different. While some transitions are underway; they are not global in their reach. The Agreement itself has proven resilient, yet the speed of progress is frustratingly slow especially for those facing constant climate impacts. At the same time ambition in curbing emissions has been tempered by a lack of agreement on implementation between countries averse to international inspection and transparency of national progress and petro states on the one hand and advanced economies on the other. The nature of incremental agreement in large climate gatherings sits awkwardly with the need for speed and scale bringing into question the sufficiency of the Agreement itself. Looking forward what role does the Paris Agreement play in achieving global progress towards a fairer and cleaner, safer world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
