Clearly SNW is the best Trek. And surely DS9 doesn’t have enough moralizing for @lastpositivist.bsky.social ??!

Decides is used because it’s something within the power of the CMA (the body that governs the Paris Agreement) to do. But yes it’s definitely a strong verb (stronger than requests, invites, calls on).
It is so decided! 🇺🇳
Despite tough politics, we secured a flawed but good finance deal for developing countries. The real need—$1.3T per year—was acknowledged. A threefold increase to a $300B mobilization goal was set.
