Yet despite unprecedented cooperation, current commitments fall far short of what science demands, with rising emissions threatening long-term temperature goals. Explore how the Paris Agreement works, where countries are falling behind, and why climate finance, carbon markets, and political stability will determine whether the world can close the ambition gap and achieve a net-zero future.
