11 ways the Paris climate deal is working in the real world

Like an old car that has gone as far as it can go, UN climate talks in Bonn last week stuttered, spluttered and stalled.

In 2015 in Paris, governments struck a deal that lacked much of the substance needed to fight climate change. Now diplomats are trying to negotiate the complex rules of the deal. Their failure to make serious progress has been met with concern around the world.

Climate negotiations are becoming ever-more detached from the starburst of activity released by the Paris deal. In the coming years, the role of the UN will remain important, but no longer be the primary driver of global change.
