I think this last-minute deal is a significant step forward for global cooperation on climate action... but let's be real, it's still a pretty incremental move . We're talking about phasing out coal-fired power plants by 2035 – that's not exactly revolutionary, considering the urgent need for drastic change . And while $100 billion in climate finance is a nice gesture, it's only scratching the surface of what we really need to make a meaningful impact .
Still, I suppose this deal marks a shift in tone from "we can't agree on anything" to "let's work together for the greater good"... and that's gotta count for something . It's also interesting to see emerging economies taking the lead on emissions reduction targets – perhaps we're finally seeing the rise of a new global climate leadership . But let's not get ahead of ourselves... there's still so much work to be done .
just saw this news and its kinda surreal how we got here ... 200+ countries agreeing to ditch fossil fuels in like 10 yrs? it feels like a dream, but also kinda hopeful still not sure about the $100 billion climate finance tho, feels like a pretty big ask for some of these countries
