Certainly, the decision to return to the 2015 Paris Agreement has been welcomed across the board, especially with the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) scheduled for the end of the year. The realisation of two other pledges have fared less well.
The most important centres on the NATO and US troop pullout from Afghanistan, though there is still no final roadmap for sustainable peace.
