80 Despite all Commonwealth countries having signed, if not ratified,

the Paris Climate Change Agreement, there are still 11% of respondents that report that their governments have not developed targets (this figure is much improved on the 2017 survey of 36%). However, 20% report that their governments are yet to develop an effective implementation plan (though this is also an improvement on the 2017 survey).
