It more immediately signals that that no one cares about the Conference of Parties set in one of the countries that pioneered drilling oil out of the ground and which exports still massively depends on fossil fuel exports.

Another point is that the debate about energy and climate, much to the chagrin of the heirs of the Club of Rome, has evolved. It's pretty clear that the world will not allow for degrowth. Not the rich, not the poor. And artificially limiting our energy generation, our industrial production and our mobility just to appease hysterical climate harpies is not going to happen.

So until we find a good way of storing electricity generated by solar panels (the only way of making abundant renewable energy for a reasonable price) and start building nuclear power plants like it's 1970's France, everything else is pretty much on hold.
Sure, you can ask (or keep asking) Brazil and Indonesia to stop destroying their rainforests and you can control wildfires better, but that's it. We'll still need more, not less, energy in the future.
