PARIS — How do you celebrate a major anniversary of the world’s most significant climate treaty while deprioritizing the fight against climate change?
That’s the quandary in Paris heading into Friday, when the landmark Paris Agreement turns 10.
With budgets strapped and the fight against climate change losing political momentum, the only major celebration planned by the French government consists of a reception inside the Ministry of Ecological Transition hosted by the minister, Monique Barbut, according to the invitation card seen by POLITICO.

Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu won’t be there, and it’s unclear whether President Emmanuel Macron will attend.
