Analyzing a Climate Negotiation Scenario
A policy analyst is reviewing the progress of the 2015 international climate accord. They note two key facts: 1) The accord does not include a mechanism to legally punish countries that fail to meet their self-declared emissions targets. 2) The sum of all countries' current self-declared targets is not enough to limit global warming to the accord's stated goal. The analyst concludes the accord is therefore a failure and has no value for future climate action. Based on your understanding of the accord's intended structure, challenge this conclusion.
