The world is still not on track to meet the 1.5°C maximum warming target. “Great powers” play a crucial role in the international fight against climate change. The United States, China, the European Union, India, and Brazil have all pledged to mitigate their own greenhouse gas emissions and support adaptation worldwide – but are they doing enough?
In this GIGA Talk, experts discuss what has or has not been achieved, how political entities justify their respective actions or inaction, and what is needed to overcome current limitations and loopholes.

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
