Summary Draft 1 - "Five Years Since Paris Agreement, world must get ambitious on climate action"

 

According to Sharma (2020), 75 countries pledged for greener change to combat climate change so as to commemorate the fifth year of the Paris Agreement. Singapore intends to make and encourage investments in environment centric projects. Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong also encouraged other nations to collaborate and contribute to the cause. UK government will also stop providing new support to the fossil fuel energy sector overseas as part of the commitment towards a cleaner energy future.

Despite the commitments made, Sharma (2020) emphasizes that a significant adjustment in the initiative is still required for palpable improvements in the climate. Thus, some transformations must take place: increased international resolve and partnership. This allows for countries and people to work efficiently towards the end goal.

Predominantly, 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.
