In the article, “ Five years since Paris Agreement, world must get ambitious on climate action”, Sharma (2020) addressed the world’s efforts to reduce the existing effects on climate change through the global Climate Ambition Summit.
As of the fifth year of the Paris Agreement, Sharma noted that a total of 75 leaders is committed to include net-zero energy, nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and adaptations and resilience in their plans. Amongst the submitted revised plans for climate action, he highlighted that the UK government will stop providing new support to the overseas fossil fuel energy sector. He also mentioned that Singapore intends to invest in environment centric projects whilst Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong encourages globally to work together. COP26 President and UK Secretary emphasizes that a significant change in ambition is still required to tackle climate change. Thus, some furtherance must take place: increased international resolve and partnership.
Predominantly, Sharma (2020) stated that everyone has a stake in the
environment. For a better future, the world must work together promptly to
reduce the existing effects of climate change.
