Climate Change: Paris Agreement and World

climate change: However, in this year's summit, in many areas, we were able to send out the strong will of the members of the G20 to the whole world, creating a sustainable, future-oriented growth path, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said in a news conference following the declaration's adoption, according to The Japan Times. Abe, who chaired the G20 session, noted that current trade tensions, especially between the United States and China, were creating worries around the world. In addition, with the United States withdrawing from the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change, the best the G20 leaders could agree to on that front was that the other 19 members would pursue the Paris agreement's goal of keeping the world's temperature rise to 1.5 degrees by the end of the century, and that the United States would merely remain committed to the development and deployment of advanced technologies to continue to reduce emissions and provide for a cleaner environment. ; It is difficult to find a solution, in one stroke, regarding a variety of challenges. The declaration echoed a phrase adopted in the communique of the G20 finance chiefs' meeting earlier this month, noting that trade and geopolitical tensions have intensified, and described the situation as a downside risk to the global economy. There are concerns the post-World War II free trade system may be faltering. At the same time, rapid changes in technology and the spread of globalization are fueling anger and discontent in many parts of the world among people who feel left behind and marginalized by the global trade regime and prefer more protectionist economic policies.
