The article from Zero Hedge discusses which countries are on track to meet their greenhouse gas emissions targets set forth in the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
According to the article, some of the countries that are meeting or exceeding their Paris Agreement goals include:
1. **Norway**: Has exceeded its goal of reducing emissions by 40% compared to 1990 levels.
2. **Sweden**: Is on track to meet its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045.
3. **Costa Rica**: Exceeded its target of reducing emissions by 25% by 2021 and aims for net-zero emissions by 2050.
4. **Iceland**: Has reduced emissions by more than 15% since 1990 and aims to become carbon neutral by 2040.
5. **Vatican City**: Has reduced emissions by over 50% compared to 2008 levels.
On the other hand, countries that are struggling to meet their targets include:
1. **China**: While China has increased its investments in renewable energy, it still relies heavily on coal and has made slow progress towards meeting its Paris Agreement goals.
2. **India**: Has struggled to transition away from fossil fuels and meet its emission reduction targets.
3. **Brazil**: While Brazil has taken steps to protect the Amazon rainforest, its greenhouse gas emissions have increased due to deforestation and agriculture.
It's worth noting that these countries are not necessarily "meeting" their goals in the sense of achieving them entirely, but rather "exceeding" or "on track" to meet them. The article also highlights the challenges faced by many countries in implementing the Paris Agreement and transitioning to a low-carbon economy.
