5 Months Post-Glasgow, Kerry Sees No Evidence That Nations Are Following Through On Climate Pledges

At the United Nations climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland last fall, negotiators from nearly 200 countries agreed to revisit — and potentially strengthen — their climate pledges this year.

But more than five months later, U.S. climate envoy John F. Kerry does not see proof that nations are following through on that crucial commitment before the next U.N. climate summit in Egypt in November.

“I don’t see the evidence that that is happening, and I also don’t see the evidence that they are reducing [emissions] significantly enough to keep us on a track where we can achieve it. So I think we have a huge lift,” Kerry told our colleague Brady Dennis in a recent interview.
