This is a controversial opinion but an outside view of COP is that in its most positive light, it has failed, miserably. It has not solved the climate crises, and even the few agreements which it has managed to pass have promised way to little and even then are still broken anyway.
I know the USA is boycotting for a different (and a very bad) reason, but I feel like (with hindsight) it would have been a smart move for other countries to abandon this conference and demand something better.
