- Paris Agreement — World leaders signed the legally binding climate pact a decade ago to combat climate change.
- Lancet Countdown — Leading international scientists produced its 10th annual report, which was published Tuesday.

- Lancet Countdown — The report finds that progress in global climate action is lagging.
Why it matters: Ten years after the legally binding Paris Agreement, the report documents a concrete gap for people already experiencing climate-related health harms: scientists say those harms are worsening while progress in global climate action is lagging. For those people, the material consequence is a growing burden of illness alongside lagging mitigation.
