Global Leaders Agree on New Climate Pact to Cut Emissions by 2035

On July 7, 2026, world leaders reached a landmark agreement at the United Nations Climate Summit in New York to accelerate global emissions reductions. The pact commits 195 countries to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from 2020 levels by 2035, aiming to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The agreement also includes funding mechanisms to support developing nations in transitioning to renewable energy.
