Based on the above, only 3 ( Sweden, France and Germany ) are close to complying.

And then there were two: the US and Syria.
As Nicaragua signs on to the Paris Agreement, the United States and Syria are now the only two nations in the world who have refused to be members of the climate pact.
The Central American country held out on signing the deal for two years, based on criticisms that it was "insufficient" in addressing climate change. On Monday, however, the Nicaraguan government announced its intent to join the accord. Vice President and first lady Rosario Murillo said they sent a "document of adhesion" to the United Nations, according to Nicaragua's state-run media outlet El 19 Digital. "It is the only instrument we have in the world that allows us to unify intentions and efforts to face climate change and natural disasters," she said of the agreement.
The landmark pact was agreed upon by nearly 200 countries in 2015 and is dedicated to lowering emissions and strengthening countries' abilities to deal with the effects of climate change. Nicaragua was the only country to reject it at the time. Syria, plunged in a civil war, was not present at the negotiations.
US President Donald Trump announced in June that the nation would withdraw from the climate accord, a process that will be complete in 2020.
"We're getting out," he said. "And we will start to renegotiate and we'll see if there's a better deal. If we can, great. If we can't, that's fine."
The leaders of France, Italy and Germany indicated in a joint statement that the US could not unilaterally renegotiate the agreement. The UN body that facilitated the deal said it "cannot be renegotiated based on the request of a single party."
The White House reiterated last month its intention to pull out of the deal unless changes are made.

Good for us.
Leave it to the Clinton News Network to link the US to Syria.
It’s a start
Now list all the countries that are actually complying with it...
Lets see,... CNN or Syria?
Still thinking...
I read an article here at FR last week that since we dropped out, many others are also dropping out, therefore this would be fake news if that article can be found.
Does anybody have that link. I can’t find it using search.
Ping.
It was a game set up by everyone to squeeze huge amounts of money out of the US.
We walked away from the table.
Now everyone is sitting at the table asking, “Where’d the money go?” And maybe they will look at China and India and say, “Hey, you guys need to kick in some cash.” And that just ain’t gonna happen.
194 wolves and 2 sheep (one very well-fed, other skin-and-bones scrawny) voting on dinner.
In other words, the Paris climate deal is nothing more than a lot of crap on a piece of paper.
So is this supposed to be a “peer pressure” piece. Gimme a break CNN. Thank God Trump has the sense to dump that asinine agreement.
and the US was going to pay the bill for the Paris Climate Accord , hmm maybe they can have a Bake Sale or a Kissing Booth
Nice.
Makes it clear what is going on.
Why is it not good enough to tell these countries not to pollute? The USA has reduced her pollution significantly over two or three decades WITHOUT a Paris or any other accord.
Why is the only answer to saving the world siphoning billions from the American taxpayer?
The Paris Accord is pure BS.
If all the countries nuke themselves, should we nuke ourselves too?
According to the left, yes...
Good.
Best news I’ve heard today.
Well, Syria won’t have a problem complying anyways......No cars, no roads, no people...................
