The Tides of Change: How the Climate Agreement is Making a Difference

Posted on May 22, 2025 By Amanda White No Comments on The Tides of Change: How the Climate Agreement is Making a Difference

In the small coastal town of Kiribati, a young fisherman named Teima stands on the beach, gazing out at the sea he’s spent his entire life sailing on. But these days, the ocean’s rising tides are threatening to swallow his home whole. Rising sea levels, exacerbated by climate change, have left farmers unable to grow crops and fishermen struggling to make a living. Teima’s family has already had to relocate to a higher elevation, leaving behind their ancestral land. He fears for the future of his community, and the future of the planet.

This is the harsh reality of life on the frontlines of climate change. But amidst the devastation, there are glimmers of hope. The climate agreement, signed by nearly 200 countries, aims to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and keep the planet safe from the worst impacts of climate change. While progress has been slow, the agreement is starting to make a tangible difference.

One area where progress is evident is in the renewable energy sector. Solar and wind power are becoming increasingly cost-competitive with fossil fuels, driving investment in clean energy projects worldwide. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), renewable energy capacity has grown by over 50% in the last five years, with solar energy leading the charge. This shift towards clean energy is crucial in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are the primary driver of climate change.

Another area where progress is being made is in the transition to electric vehicles. Many countries, including Norway, India, and China, are investing heavily in electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, making it easier for consumers to adopt cleaner alternatives to gasoline-powered cars. EVs are not only reducing emissions but also improving air quality in urban areas, where air pollution is a major public health concern.

In addition to these technological advancements, there is also growing recognition of the importance of climate justice. The climate agreement acknowledges the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable communities, including small-island developing states, least developed countries, and indigenous peoples. Efforts to support climate resilience and adaptation in these communities are gaining momentum, with organizations like the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) providing vital funding and technical assistance.

However, despite these positive developments, the climate agreement still faces significant challenges. The pace of progress is too slow, and the ambition of countries is not yet sufficient to meet the 1.5°C target. The recent IPCC report highlights the urgent need for more aggressive action to reduce emissions and limit warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

As the world heads into the next round of climate negotiations, it’s essential to remember the human stories behind the statistics. For Teima and his community, the climate agreement is not just a distant policy document, but a lifeline that could determine their future. As the world comes together to address this global crisis, it’s crucial to keep the focus on people, communities, and the planet – and to ensure that the climate agreement delivers on its promise to protect the most vulnerable among us.
