As the Paris climate deal turns 10 on Friday, its promise of holding global warming to between 1.5C and 2C is slipping further out of reach. Adelle Thomas, a geographer from the Bahamas and one of 600 scientists from the UN’s climate panel drafting the next global assessment, told RFI that political pushback is getting in the way of meaningful action on an "existential" threat.
RFI: The 1.5C threshold has divided governments. Some say it is unattainable, while others see it as political. Small island states defend it strongly. As a scientist and an islander, how do you see it?
