The agreement also legally requires countries to meet every five years beginning in 2023 in order to report publicly on the progress they made compared to their plans.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ACN Malta<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope urges action to implement\u00a0Paris climate agreement &nbsp; Pope Francis praised world leaders for reaching an agreement in the last week\u2019s Paris climate talks, saying \u201cThe conference on climate has just concluded in Paris with the adoption of an agreement, defined by many as historic\u201d.
