Opinion| Is carbon pricing the best answer to the climate change crisis?
This agreement, also known as the Paris Agreement, is essentially a plan for the future to avert a climate catastrophe that threatens humanity.

And this agreement, like any plan, must be adhered to for it to succeed, which is why this year’s conference was so important.
