Hi, I have some notes on your draft:

It looks like your sections are smaller than the other sections. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but make sure that you're not removing information that should be in the article. Also keep in mind that the sections don't automatically have to be re-written completely. (You don't have to keep the material, but the general gist is that you don't have to reinvent the wheel if the section only needs sourcing.)

That said, the writing is generally good - just keep the above in mind and also make sure that you steer clear of subjective words and phrases. Landmark could be seen as a subjective term, for example, unless it's a widely held opinion. It's better to phrase things like this as "has been seen as landmark by (specific person or group)".

This needs more sourcing to back up the claims. Since this deals with climate change, a topic that can often be highly debated, make sure that you use the strongest possible sourcing. Primary sources are fine for this depending on what they're sourcing, of course. I'm a little leery of E-International Relations, as I don't know that it's really the strongest possible source. To be honest, I'd recommend going with a stronger academic source.

I hope that this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:34, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
