Why International Agreements on Climate Change Matter More Than Ever

Posted on May 12, 2025 By Dante No Comments on Why International Agreements on Climate Change Matter More Than Ever

When we look around at the news, the signs are everywhere: wildfires raging, hurricanes growing more intense, and summers stretching out like they’ll never end. Climate change isn’t a distant problem anymore—it’s happening right now. But here’s the thing: climate change is a global problem that no single country can solve by itself. That’s where international agreements on climate change come into play.

These agreements are basically handshake deals amongst nations, promising to work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help protect the planet. Think of them as the world’s collective game plan against climate disaster.

One of the earliest and most famous agreements is the Kyoto Protocol, which kicked off in the late 1990s. It was groundbreaking because it set legally binding targets for developed countries to cut down their emissions. But it had its limits—some big players didn’t join, and it didn’t cover rapidly developing countries as much. Then came the Paris Agreement in 2015, which is arguably the most significant climate pact ever made. Unlike Kyoto, Paris brought nearly every country to the table with a more flexible approach: nations set their own targets, called Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and agreed to update and ramp them up over time.

Why is this approach smart? Because climate change affects every nation differently. Developed countries usually have more resources and a bigger carbon footprint to reduce, while developing countries often face the challenge of balancing growth and sustainability. The Paris Agreement acknowledges this, fostering cooperation without heavy-handed mandates.

But signing these agreements is only the first step. The real challenge is follow-through. Some countries have made impressive progress, investing in renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and phasing out coal. Others lag behind, sometimes due to political shifts, economic pressures, or lack of infrastructure. There’s also the question of financing—developed countries pledged funds to help poorer nations adapt to climate impacts and transition to cleaner energy, but the money flow hasn’t always matched the promises.

What’s encouraging is that international agreements create a framework for accountability and dialogue. They help keep climate change front and center in global politics. When countries meet, negotiate, and report on their progress, it pressures governments to stay committed.

In a way, these agreements are like a marathon relay. Each country carries the baton for a while and then passes it on, hoping the next runner will keep pace or go even faster. The stakes couldn’t be higher—our planet’s future depends on whether this global team can run together long enough to cross the finish line.

So, while international agreements on climate change aren’t perfect, they’re absolutely crucial. They remind us that when it comes to fighting climate change, it’s us all or none of us. And that’s a conversation worth having—over and over again.
