Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Treaty growth has not translated into improved global environmental outcomes. • Major agreements since 1971 reveal persistent gaps between pledges and delivery. • Weak implementation, enforcement, and coordination continue to obstruct progress. • Unequal finance, voice, and technology transfer undermine treaty legitimacy. • Effective reform requires fair compliance, delivery, and joined-up governance.
