Meeting marking 10 years of the Paris Agreement

On 12 December, six knowledge institutions (WKR, PBL, NKP, Deltares, Rli, KIN) that advise the government on climate policy brought together a large group of stakeholders to mark the 10th anniversary of the Paris Climate Agreement. The aim was to take stock, but also to look ahead.

An afternoon dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement presents a dilemma: do you strike a positive tone, emphasising what has been achieved? Or do you look at the missed temperature target, the enormous task that lies ahead?

There is hope because of all that has been achieved and the possibilities that still lie ahead. Hope is needed to keep our spirits up and prevent worse from happening. But we must also face up to the shortcomings and realise what is holding us back.
