Delivering Climate Change Progress

摘要

With all the challenges that humanity faces, there are huge opportunities as well. Which is not to say that the environmental news isn't bleak. When the world community met in Bonn last November to advance the Paris Agreement on climate change, Washington signaled it would be leaving the 2015 accord and abandoning the key domestic program for achieving America's commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28 percent over the next dozen years, the Clean Power Plan to cut power plant emissions. But despite the new administration's actions, the momentum behind America's Paris pledge remains strong - and emissions reductions in general continue across the world, as 190-plus other nations move to implement the agreement.
