Czech MPs vote in favour of ratifying Paris Agreement at fifth attempt

Czech MPs have voted in favour of ratifying the Paris Agreement aimed at curbing global warming. Tuesday’s session of the Chamber of Deputies was the fifth at which the agreement had been discussed. The matter will now go before the lower house’s foreign affairs and environment committees and could be ratified in September. The Senate endorsed the Paris Agreement in April. The Czech Republic is the only European Union state not to have ratified it.
