"Nations’ failure to submit stronger carbon goals comes as President Donald Trump is pushing world leaders to abandon the climate fight."
"Dozens of nations have failed to strengthen their climate targets — a requirement of the Paris Agreement — as they race toward global negotiations next month with planet-warming pollution on the rise.
Two weeks before climate talks begin in Brazil, the lapse by more than 100 countries in submitting new United Nations plans for tackling global warming is colliding with rising enmity by President Donald Trump, who has eviscerated climate measures in the U.S. while urging, and threatening, other nations to abandon the fight against climbing temperatures.
The EU is struggling to fill the vacuum left by America’s reversal on global climate cooperation. And China, while pledging to cut its world-leading carbon pollution, has announced a target that analysts say is too low to prevent catastrophic climate impacts."
