No. These three countries account for about half of the global population and a good percent of the global economy. They are also among the largest countries in the world. So, to me not only their involvement but sincere participation is critical for realizing 2030 agenda.
M.A.K.Khalil
No. The agenda is an aspiration. Without it nothing will happen; with it, slow progress will occur consistent with the economic conditions of the various countries that contribute the most to climate change. The process of moving away from fossil fuels is a transition that will take decades and is driven by more than just climate issues. Note also that all international agreements are just "good faith". There is no penalty for violations. And, what is promised today, is by one political administration. There is no deal that all future political administrations will honor it. When administrations change, the promise can be broken outright.

The selected 3 countries contribute most of the world population and are taking active part in different sectors, like scientific development, industry, sports, economy etc. Excluding the three will no doubt reduce the population burden but at the same time we would be deprived of many things required to meet the target.
