Summary Draft 1: "Five years since Paris Agreement, world must get ambitious on climate action"

 In the recent news release, “Five years since Paris Agreement, world must get ambitious on climate action”, Sharma (2020) addressed the world’s efforts to combat climate change by holding a global Climate Ambition Summit to discuss a strategy for carbon neutrality.

During the summit, 45 nationally determined contributions(NDC) and 24 net-zero commitments have been announced by leaders worldwide to reduce the impacts of climate change. 


Sharma stated that the British government will withdraw their monetary support for the fossil fuel energy sector overseas. Additionally, he mentioned the United Kingdom’s (UK) and Singapore’s government exchange on educating each other regarding grid decarbonisation.


He claims that Singapore plays a vital role in supporting regional energy transitions, keen on imparting its knowledge for a sustainable planet. Thus, he believes that contribution is not an individual effort, and it is proven by our existing pandemic to work together and achieve success.
