Words to stress correctly
| recognition | re·cog·NI·tion | /rɛkəɡˈnɪʃən/ |
| developing | de·VE·lop·ing | /dɪˈvɛləpɪŋ/ |
| reality | re·A·li·ty | /riˈæləti/ |
| agreement | a·GREE·ment | /əˈɡrimənt/ |
| updated | up·DA·ted | /əpˈdeɪtɪd/ |
| recognize | RE·cog·nize | /ˈrɛkəɡnaɪz/ |
55 words, aim for 21–25 seconds. Say 1.5 as “one point five” and 5-year as “five-year”. Breathe after Celsius and after reality; the semicolons are short pauses, and pause briefly before but are most at risk.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress: re·cog·NI·tion but RE·cog·nize, de·VE·lop·ing, re·A·li·ty, a·GREE·ment, up·DA·ted. Don’t hesitate at 1.5-degree Celsius. Keep the endings: plans, countries, updated.
General tip: This is one long sentence with a semicolon list; keep the voice up at each semicolon so the listener hears the items connect, and only drop at from it.

中文: 这样一项协议将包括：承认世界必须尽快把全球变暖控制在1.5摄氏度以内；一个长期的低碳未来；每5年更新一次、能反映不断发展的气候现实的行动计划；以及向那些对气候变化责任很小却面临最大风险的国家提供援助。
हिन्दी: ऐसे समझौते में यह स्वीकार करना शामिल होगा कि दुनिया को जल्द से जल्द वैश्विक तापमान वृद्धि को 1.5 डिग्री सेल्सियस तक सीमित रखने का लक्ष्य रखना चाहिए; एक दीर्घकालिक कम-कार्बन भविष्य; हर 5 साल में अद्यतन की जाने वाली कार्य योजनाएँ जो बदलती जलवायु वास्तविकता को पहचानें; और उन देशों को सहायता जिन्होंने जलवायु परिवर्तन में बहुत कम योगदान दिया लेकिन जो इससे सबसे अधिक ख़तरे में हैं।
नेपाली: यस्तो सम्झौतामा संसारले सकेसम्म चाँडो विश्व तापमान वृद्धिलाई 1.5 डिग्री सेल्सियसमा सीमित राख्ने लक्ष्य लिनुपर्छ भन्ने स्वीकारोक्ति; दीर्घकालीन कम-कार्बन भविष्य; बदलिँदो जलवायु यथार्थलाई पहिचान गर्ने हरेक 5 वर्षमा अद्यावधिक हुने कार्ययोजना; र जलवायु परिवर्तन गराउन थोरै भूमिका खेलेका तर यसबाट सबैभन्दा बढी जोखिममा रहेका देशहरूलाई सहायता समावेश हुनेछ।
Tiếng Việt: Một thỏa thuận như vậy sẽ bao gồm việc thừa nhận rằng thế giới phải đặt mục tiêu càng sớm càng tốt giữ mức ấm lên toàn cầu ở 1,5 độ C; một tương lai dài hạn ít carbon; các kế hoạch hành động được cập nhật 5 năm một lần, phản ánh thực tế khí hậu đang thay đổi; và viện trợ cho những quốc gia góp phần rất ít vào biến đổi khí hậu nhưng lại chịu rủi ro lớn nhất từ nó.
