“A New Era of Climate Cooperation: Progress on the Paris Agreement”

Posted on May 21, 2025 By Amanda White No Comments on “A New Era of Climate Cooperation: Progress on the Paris Agreement”

As the sun set over the small village of Karamoja in northern Uganda, 12-year-old Akiru’s heart sank. The crops her family had spent months tending to were withering away, and their livestock was struggling to find food and water. The once-reliable rainy season had failed them, and the consequences of climate change were stark. Akiru’s village was not alone; communities across Africa were facing devastating droughts, famines, and extreme weather events, threatening the very foundations of their livelihoods.

But amidst the chaos, Akiru saw hope. Her community had come together to plant drought-resistant crops, build rainwater harvesting systems, and even create a community garden. The progress was slow, but it was a start. And as she looked out at the parched landscape, Akiru knew that she was part of something bigger – the global effort to combat climate change.

Fast-forward to 2022, and the progress on the Paris Agreement is undeniable. The historic accord, signed by almost 200 countries in 2015, set a global goal to limit warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. While the journey has been rocky, the agreement has sparked a wave of innovation, cooperation, and action.

One of the most significant developments is the surge in renewable energy investment. In 2020, renewable energy accounted for more than 30% of global power generation, up from just 22% in 2010. Countries like China, the US, and the EU have set ambitious targets to transition away from fossil fuels, driving down costs and creating new jobs.

Another area of progress is the growing recognition of climate justice. The Paris Agreement acknowledged that the poorest and most vulnerable countries are often the most affected by climate change, and the need for climate finance to support their adaptation and resilience efforts. In 2020, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) reached a milestone, approving $13.8 billion in funding for climate projects in developing countries.

However, the pace of progress remains uneven. Some countries, like the US, have retreated from their climate commitments, while others, like Australia, have made little progress in reducing their emissions. The lack of ambition is partly due to the complexity of the issue – climate change knows no borders, and the required transformation is nothing short of revolutionary.

Yet, there are reasons to believe that the tide is turning. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift towards remote work, electric vehicles, and clean energy, creating new opportunities for climate action. The growing climate movement, led by young people like Akiru, is demanding more from their leaders and driving policy change.

As we look to the future, it’s clear that the progress made so far is just the beginning. The Paris Agreement provides a framework for cooperation, but it’s up to governments, businesses, and civil society to turn words into action. The clock is ticking, and the stakes are high. But as Akiru’s story shows, even in the face of adversity, hope and resilience can lead to a brighter future for all.
