Around 95% of countries have missed a UN deadline to submit new climate pledges for 2035, Carbon Brief analysis shows.
Just 10 of the 195 parties signed up to the landmark [Paris Agreement](https://www.carbonbrief.org/interactive-the-paris-agreement-on-climate-change/) have published their new emissions-cutting plans, known as “[nationally determined contributions](https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-what-are-intended-nationally-determined-contributions/)” (NDCs), by the 10 February deadline.
Countries missing the deadline represent 83% of global emissions and nearly 80% of the world’s economy, according to Carbon Brief analysis.
The [COP30](https://unfccc.int/cop30) summit in Brazil this November is being billed as a key moment for countries to increase their efforts towards achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.
In a 6 February [speech](https://unfccc.int/news/ten-years-since-the-paris-agreement-how-far-we-have-come-the-journey-ahead-un-climate-chief-delivers), UN climate chief Simon Stiell said the “vast majority of countries have indicated that they [will] submit new plans this year” and “taking a bit more time to ensure these plans are first-rate makes sense”.
He added that countries need to submit their plans “at the latest…by September” in order to be included in the UN’s next global “synthesis” assessment of climate action ahead of COP30.
We really have to start talking about climate change consequence mitigating. We have been long past the point of some mild climate change consequences and are at the point of facing serious climate change consequences. Climate change will hit us hard and we have to figure out how to deal with that.
Note: Still, the cheapest and best solution is always the prevention of climate change. No matter which strategies of mitigation we have.
Edit: forgot a word.
Hopefully DOGE handles this like the Paris one. Total scams idk how we haven’t caught on yet. These people don’t do shit for the climate. We need to send whoever killed the CEO definitely wasn’t eyebrow guy
Have a feeling I’ll be at deaths door and we’ll still be combating this thing. We will never change
They couldn’t promise to try, but they tried to try.
