The UN climate summit—hosted this year by the United Arab Emirates, a major oil producer—begins Thursday in Dubai.

It will also define what new commitments countries can agree on to avoid planetary catastrophe.

Canada still has eight years to achieve our 2030 climate target. But rising emissions over the last two years look like they've already pushed it out of reach. That’s because we are now at a point where each wasted year makes the remaining task overwhelmingly larger.
