Can the World’s Climate Treaty Progress Overcome the Hurdles of Politics and Profit?

Posted on May 22, 2025 By Andrew Garfield No Comments on Can the World’s Climate Treaty Progress Overcome the Hurdles of Politics and Profit?

As we stand at the crossroads of a rapidly changing climate, the question on everyone’s mind is: will the world’s collective efforts to combat global warming be enough to prevent the worst-case scenario? The answer lies in the progress of climate treaties, a complex web of international agreements aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the effects of climate change.

In recent years, there have been numerous breakthroughs in climate treaty progress. The Paris Agreement, signed in 2015, marked a significant milestone in global cooperation, with nearly 200 countries committing to limit global warming to well below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The agreement’s emphasis on transparency, accountability, and financial support for developing countries has been instrumental in driving progress towards a low-carbon economy.

However, despite these advances, the journey to a climate-resilient world remains fraught with challenges. The Paris Agreement’s ambition is threatened by the increasing gap between countries’ current pledges and the level of emissions reductions required to meet the 1.5°C target. Moreover, the treaty’s implementation is hindered by the lack of clarity on crucial issues such as carbon pricing, technology transfer, and climate finance.

One of the biggest obstacles to climate treaty progress is the influence of politics and profit. The fossil fuel industry, for instance, has been a vocal opponent of climate action, using its lobbying power and financial muscle to undermine efforts to transition to renewable energy. The emergence of nationalist and populist movements has also led to increased skepticism about the need for international cooperation on climate change, with some countries prioritizing domestic interests over global commitments.

Another significant hurdle is the uneven distribution of climate benefits and burdens. Developed countries, which have contributed the most to climate change, often drag their feet on providing adequate climate finance and technology transfer to developing countries. This has created tension and mistrust among developing countries, which feel that the global North is not doing its fair share to address the crisis.

Despite these challenges, there are reasons to be optimistic about climate treaty progress. The green revolution is underway, with renewable energy costs plummeting and electric vehicle sales surging. Cities and businesses are taking matters into their own hands, investing in climate-resilient infrastructure and adopting sustainable practices. The growing awareness of climate change’s impact on human health, food security, and economic stability is also driving governments to take more ambitious action.

So, what can be done to overcome the hurdles of politics and profit and drive further progress in climate treaty implementation? One solution is to strengthen the Paris Agreement’s rules and procedures, making it more difficult for countries to backslide on their commitments. Another approach is to increase transparency and accountability, with regular reviews and assessments of countries’ climate actions. Finally, there is a need to build a more inclusive and equitable global climate governance system, one that recognizes the rights and needs of all countries and communities.

As we look to the future, the question of whether the world’s climate treaty progress can overcome the obstacles of politics and profit is more pressing than ever. The answer lies in our collective willingness to work together, to prioritize people and the planet over profits and politics. The clock is ticking, and the world is watching.
