I am not surprised. Nothing substantial and binding ever came since the Paris Climate agreement in 2015. Because the key word is: non-binding. No one will get punished for not meeting the climate targets. Nicaragua is right not signing it initially because they think the Paris deal did not go far enough. The world wide climate fund went to vanity projects of corrupt politicians and businesses because those projects qualified for “green initiatives”.
Wake me up when carbon emissions actually decreased by 90% and the worst offenders are put in jail.
