Paris Treaty

Prime Minister Narendra Modi surprised the COP26 climate summit with a bold pledge: the world's third-biggest emitter will reach net-zero by 2070. India is the only country delivering in "letter and spirit" its commitments under Paris treaty, he said

Since 2005 seas have risen 2.5 times faster than during the 20th century mainly due to melting of ice sheets, and will likely jump four-fold again by 2100 if carbon emissions continue unabated, the UN warned on Wednesday.

Nations dragged a deal over the line Saturday to implement the landmark 2015 Paris climate treaty after marathon UN talks that failed to match the ambition the world's most vulnerable countries need to avert dangerous global warming.

Humanity is falling further behind in the race against climate change, with the gap between greenhouse gas emissions and levels needed to achieve the Paris climate treaty temperature goals continuing to widen, the UN said Tuesday.

The world's nations will gather at a UN conference in South Korea on Monday to review and approve a 20-page bombshell -- distilled from more than 6,000 scientific studies -- laying out narrowing options for staving off climate catastrophe.

The United States will fall short by a third on its commitment under the Paris climate treaty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to a report released Wednesday in San Francisco.

Even if humanity slashes greenhouse gas emissions in line with Paris climate treaty goals, the planet could overwhelm such efforts and irretrievably tip into a hellish 'hothouse' state, top scientists warned Monday.

President Donald Trump would be willing to sign the US back up to the Paris climate accord, but only if the treaty undergoes major change, he said in comments published Sunday.

Negotiations to bolster the climate-saving Paris Agreement, crafted over two decades, closed in Bonn Saturday, deflated but not derailed by Donald Trump's rejection of the treaty and defence of fossil fuels.

On December 12, 2015, 195 countries gathered in the French capital to conclude the first truly universal climate treaty, the Paris Agreement, aimed at preventing the worst-case scenarios of global warming.

He called global warming a Chinese conspiracy and suggested a "big fat dose" of it might make frosty days more pleasant. Now the pending arrival of a climate denier to the White House has left scientists and treaty backers around the globe scrambling to reassess the path ahead to save the Earth.

The world expects the United States to uphold its commitments under the landmark Paris climate treaty, despite Donald Trump's vow to pull out of it, the incoming head of its UN implementing body told AFP Friday.

Within days of India signing the Paris Climate Treaty, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said tax on environment unfriendly products will be "distinct" from others in the forthcoming GST regime so as to boost funds for climate financing.

India on Sunday formally ratified the COP21 Paris climate deal, marking a milestone in a treaty that binds nations to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the threat of global warming due to human activities.

The White House today lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement that India would ratify the Paris agreement on climate change on October 2, saying that this is another example of his courageous leadership.
