Global Climate Pledge Deadline Missed by Majority of Nations

Nearly 200 nations failed to meet the UN’s February 10 deadline to submit updated climate targets under the Paris Agreement, with only 10 countries—including the UAE, New Zealand, and Switzerland—complying on time. Major polluters like China, India, and the EU were notably absent, while most G20 economies delayed submissions except the US, UK, and Brazil (host of November’s COP30 summit).
The Paris Accord requires nations to outline steeper emissions cuts by 2035 and detailed implementation plans.
The US submission, finalized before President Trump’s 2025 withdrawal from the Paris deal, remains symbolic. While late submissions face no penalties, they undermine accountability efforts. The EU pledged to deliver its plan "well ahead" of COP30, and China is expected to release its strategy later this year.
Analysts warn that geopolitical tensions—including Trump’s return to office and competing crises—risk derailing climate progress.
