"The evidence of nearly three decades of climate diplomacy is that when we set ourselves an objective, more often than not we will hit it.
Consider the European Union’s first pledge under the 2015 Paris Agreement to cut emissions in 2030 to 40% below levels in 1990.
Plenty scoffed at the time.
In fact, greenhouse pollution last year was already 37% below 1990, and on current trends the EU may achieve a 54% cut, almost enough to hit a stricter target passed in 2020."
