The Uneven Battle Against Climate Change: Can Global Pacts Bring Nations Together?

Posted on May 22, 2025 By Tom Clansy No Comments on The Uneven Battle Against Climate Change: Can Global Pacts Bring Nations Together?

In 2020, the world witnessed a staggering 22% increase in global greenhouse gas emissions, despite the COVID-19 pandemic forcing millions of people to work from home and reducing air travel. This alarming statistic is a stark reminder that, despite growing concerns about climate change, the global response remains fragmented and inadequate. The key to mitigating this crisis lies in global climate pacts – agreements that bring nations together to coordinate efforts and share the burden.

The Paris Agreement, signed in 2015, is the most prominent example of a global climate pact. It aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C (3.6°F) above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C (2.7°F). So far, 195 countries have ratified the agreement, but the progress has been slow. The agreement’s success hinges on countries submitting Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) – plans outlining their greenhouse gas reduction targets and strategies. However, many countries lack the resources, expertise, or political will to meet their NDCs.

One of the primary challenges in achieving global climate pacts is the uneven distribution of economic power and technological capabilities among nations. Developed countries, which are historically responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions, have the resources to invest in clean energy and green technologies. In contrast, developing countries often face significant financial and infrastructure constraints. This disparity makes it difficult to create a level playing field, where all countries can contribute to the global effort.

Another obstacle is the lack of trust and cooperation among nations. Climate change is often seen as a national security issue, and countries may be hesitant to share sensitive information or compromise on their interests. In 2019, the United States withdrew from the Paris Agreement, citing concerns about the deal’s impact on American jobs and energy security. This move not only damaged the global consensus on climate action but also created uncertainty for countries relying on US leadership.

Despite these challenges, there are reasons to be optimistic. In recent years, countries have made significant progress in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. For example, China, the world’s largest emitter, has implemented a range of policies to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in its energy mix. Similarly, the European Union has set ambitious targets to become carbon neutral by 2050.

To overcome the current impasse, it’s essential to create more inclusive and flexible global climate pacts. This could involve establishing a global climate fund to support developing countries in their transition to clean energy, as well as promoting cooperation and knowledge-sharing among nations. Additionally, the pacts should prioritize climate justice and human rights, ensuring that the most vulnerable communities are protected from the impacts of climate change.

The battle against climate change is far from won, but it’s not lost yet. By recognizing the limitations of current global climate pacts and addressing the challenges that hinder their effectiveness, nations can work together to create a more equitable and sustainable future. The clock is ticking, but with collective action and a renewed commitment to cooperation, it’s not too late to avert the worst impacts of climate change.
