The Paris Climate Agreement, which was signed in 2015, is a pledge by countries around the world to limit global warming to no more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The agreement also includes provisions for countries to regularly report on their progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

As of this writing, the current status of the Paris Climate Agreement is one of uncertainty. In 2017, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the agreement, citing concerns over the impact on American jobs and economic competitiveness. The withdrawal process was completed in November 2020, although President Joe Biden has since rejoined the agreement.

Despite the withdrawal of the United States, the Paris Climate Agreement remains in effect, with 189 countries still committed to its goals. However, the absence of the world`s second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases (after China) does represent a significant challenge to the agreement`s effectiveness.

In addition to the United States` withdrawal, there are concerns about the ability of countries to meet the targets set out in the agreement. A report from the United Nations Environment Programme in 2019 found that even if all countries meet their current pledges under the agreement, global emissions would still be on track to rise by 16% by 2030.

To address these challenges, the Paris Climate Agreement calls for countries to regularly review and update their emissions reduction targets. The next such review is scheduled for 2023, and it is hoped that countries will take more ambitious steps to reduce emissions in the coming years.

Overall, the current status of the Paris Climate Agreement is one of both hope and uncertainty. While the withdrawal of the United States represents a setback, the continued commitment of the majority of countries to the agreement`s goals is a positive sign. However, meeting those goals will require significant action and cooperation from all countries involved.
