“The Clock is Ticking: Why Global Climate Pacts are More Crucial than Ever”

Posted on May 21, 2025 By Tom Clansy No Comments on “The Clock is Ticking: Why Global Climate Pacts are More Crucial than Ever”

Did you know that in 2020, a whopping 35% of the world’s population – over 2.4 billion people – lived in areas impacted by climate-related disasters, such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves? This staggering statistic, revealed by the United Nations, is a stark reminder of the urgent need for global climate pacts that can mitigate the devastating effects of climate change.

In recent years, we’ve seen the devastating consequences of unchecked climate change, from raging wildfires in Australia to Category 5 hurricanes in the Caribbean. The science is clear: human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, are releasing massive amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to a global average temperature increase of over 1°C since the late 19th century.

Against this backdrop, global climate pacts have emerged as a critical tool for countries to work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to renewable energy sources, and adapt to the impacts of climate change. These pacts aim to address the collective action problem that has hindered climate cooperation for decades: the fact that one country’s efforts to reduce emissions do not guarantee success if others do not follow suit.

The Paris Agreement, signed by nearly 200 countries in 2015, is the most significant global climate pact to date. It sets a global goal of limiting warming to well below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. However, with the agreement’s implementation deadline looming in 2020, it has become clear that countries need to do more to meet their commitments.

One area where global climate pacts can make a significant difference is in the development of clean energy technologies. For instance, the European Union’s Green Deal, launched in 2019, aims to make the EU carbon neutral by 2050. The plan includes investing €1 trillion in clean energy technologies, such as wind, solar, and hydrogen power, over the next decade.

Similarly, the African Renewable Energy Alliance, launched in 2019, brings together 45 African countries to promote the development of renewable energy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The alliance aims to increase renewable energy capacity in Africa from 30 GW to 300 GW by 2030.

However, despite these efforts, there is still a long way to go. Climate change is a global problem that requires a global response. The clock is ticking, and the world needs to act fast to reduce emissions, protect vulnerable communities, and ensure a sustainable future for all.

As we move forward, it’s essential that countries prioritize climate action, invest in clean energy technologies, and work together to achieve the goals set out in global climate pacts. The stakes are high, but the reward is worth it: a planet that is livable, sustainable, and just for all.
