Paris can cut it

Victor talks about how crunch climate talks can be a success even without a deal to keep warming below 2°C. The Paris pledges already put the world on track for a lot less warming than some feared a few years ago. And governments in richer countries are on track to honor a commitment to free up, by 2020, about $100 billion per year to help the poorest countries. Much of this success comes from the system of individual national pledges. It has given countries flexibility to focus their obligations on areas where they are willing and able to act.
