Ten years after the Paris Treaty was signed, questions are being raised about the effectiveness of climate talks. Although the agreement's key temperature goal has been missed, experts say it is still proving a vital moral compass for progress. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing The Guardian.

Ahead of the Cop31 conference, the question of what is the point of climate talks is being asked. The key temperature goal of the Paris Agreement has been missed, but experts say the agreement is still proving a vital moral compass for progress.
Thus, the debate over the effectiveness of climate negotiations continues ten years on. The agreement's main goal — to keep global temperature rise below 2°C, and ideally limit it to 1.5°C — has not been met. Nevertheless, experts do not deny the importance of the Paris Agreement as a moral compass for climate action.
The issue is being discussed in the context of the Cop31 conference. The consequences of climate change, including increased wildfire risk, are drawing scientists' attention. The wildfire at Lacanau in south-west France is a clear illustration of this.
According to experts, although the key temperature goal of the Paris Agreement has not been achieved, it remains an important document that contributes to the development of climate policy. The question of the effectiveness of the negotiations remains open, but the role of the agreement as a moral compass is undeniable.
