First, could that be because the accord was signed in 2015 and its emissions targets are in 2030?
Second, countries set their own emissions targets. So it's more of a gentleman's agreement.
Third, it's also false. At least 50 cities are on track [https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/dec/11/paris-cl...]. In fact people track who is naughty and nice and there are some countries making good progress and still on track [https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/09/clima...].
Because it turns out that not one single country managed to hit the targets that were set.
