Global Leaders Gather for Climate Summit, Pledge New Emission Targets

World leaders from over 190 countries have convened in Geneva for the annual climate conference, announcing ambitious new targets to reduce carbon emissions by 2030. The summit comes amid growing concerns about extreme weather events worldwide.

The three-day summit, which began on Monday, has already seen major announcements from several key nations. The United States pledged to cut emissions by 55% compared to 2005 levels, while the European Union committed to a 60% reduction from 1990 levels. China, the world's largest emitter, announced plans to peak its carbon output by 2025, five years earlier than previously promised.
