Critics say efforts to combat climate change not enough to meet Paris goals

Strict new limits on carbon emissions were set under the Paris 2015 plan but since then the US has threatened to pull out and critics say not enough is being done to meet the target.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference will meet in Bonn on Monday. 

It's the annual summit devoted to global warming and its effect on the world's climate. 

In Paris in 2015 strict new limits on carbon emissions were set but since then the US has threatened to pull out and critics say not enough is being done to meet the target.
