Friends of the Earth: Deal falls short of 'soaring rhetoric'

An ambition to keep global temperature rises below 1.5C is all very well, but we still don't have an adequate global plan to make this a reality. This agreement leaves millions of people across the world under threat from climate-related floods, droughts and super-storms.
