Almost all states let the UN period to submit new climate targets






Almost all signatory states of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement have had an UN period expired on Monday to submit new climate goals. As UN-data showed, only ten out of almost 200 signatories submitted new climate plans, including Great Britain, Switzerland and Brazil, the host country of the upcoming UN Climate Conference in November. Large CO2 producers such as China, India and the European Union made no plans.

Most of the G20 states were also missing. The United States submitted its paper to the revised climate measures. However, this was drawn up before the new President Donald Trump took office and is therefore considered to be obsolete. In one of his first official acts, Trump had the United States left out of the Paris Agreement. This decision officially comes into force after a one -year period in January 2026.

The agreement provides that every country involved regularly updates and tightens its plans for reducing climate -damaging emissions. By Monday, the states should explain how exactly they want to save further emissions by 2035. For the late submission of the goals, there are also no penalties intended as for violations of the presented national climate march routes.

The EU has announced that it would like to submit its new plan. This should be “far before” the COP30 climate conference in Brazil in November. Observers expect China – the world’s largest CO2 producer and the largest investor in renewable energies – will follow his projects in the second half of 2025.

The United Arab Emirates, Ecuador, New Zealand, St. Lucia, Andorra and Uruguay also include those who presented their plan on time.

The Paris climate agreement, which was closed in 2015, provides to limit global warming to well below two degrees compared to the pre -industrial age, if possible even to 1.5 degrees. However, according to the UN climate secretariat, the world is currently far away.
