To those who doubt whether Britain can have any impact on the pathway of global emissions, the lesson of history is that we can. Before the Paris climate agreement was negotiated 10 years ago, the world was on course for 4 degrees centigrade of global warming. Now, national commitments imply 2.6 degrees centigrade of global warming, or below 2 degrees centigrade if countries meet their full climate targets. We remain way off track from where we need to be as a world, but we in this country have helped make a difference across parties.
