Findings from the Climate Action Tracker presented at the summit indicate that current policies are insufficient, with global temperature rises projected to reach 2.6 degrees Celsius if nations fail to act. Panelists highlighted the lasting impact of the United States’ withdrawal from the 2015 Paris Agreement, noting it slowed international momentum to cut greenhouse gas emissions. “As our current policy update shows, the temperature outcomes have been pretty flat for four years,” said Bill Hare…
