This agreement is a joke. China is still being allowed to be classified as developing nation, let alone India which while parts may be as a whole it is not reflective of what their climate impact is.
Worse, typical with the latest wave of "agreements" world leaders are regularly doing their best to avoid having to seek approval at home of their legislative bodies. Why? Because bad deals are bad deals.
The idea that developing nation status is partially based on per capita wealth makes it a joke where large population countries that have serious wealth divides are allowed to exploit treaties such as this. If anything it encourages them to not integrate the poorer of their nations into the whole.
