Some countries have missed their targets and the cutting of emissions isn’t going far enough or fast enough.\n\n### Why is it a problem that people are wrong about this?\n\nThe challenge of stopping the worst impacts of climate change is already huge enough. If people believe countries are incapable of coming to any kind of agreement, it can lead to a sense of hopelessness that anything can ever be done.\n\n### Why are people wrong about this?\n\nThey are rightly concerned that efforts to reduce emissions are not moving fast enough (or have barely started at all) and so assume many countries haven’t come to any kind of agreement to fight climate change.\n\n### Can I trust this data?\n\nYes, the figures come from the official website of the Paris Climate Agreement. There are three countries that have signed the agreement but haven’t ratified it – Iran, Libya, and Yemen. Under President Donald Trump, in 2017, the US said it was withdrawing from the agreement. The withdrawal wasn't effective until November 2020, due to UN regulations.
