COP 26 is being touted as the most important international climate meeting since 2015 in Paris. This has been described as the last best opportunity to reach the 1.5 C target, and for the first time since the agreement was signed, the country’s leader had been expected to commit to enhanced ambitions.
The action already promised by the nation to curb emissions over the next decades keep the world out of the way to limit global warming to 1.5 C over pre-industrial times, beyond which increasingly serious consequences had been left.
The UN warns that the latest national action plan to tackle emissions by 2030 puts the world on a path of rising temperature by 2.7 C.
Why do we need COP?
- The world is getting warmer due to the emission of fossil fuels by humans. Sea levels of the planet are rising and icecaps (area covered with ice) are melting. We are witnessing more and more serious incidents of heat, floods and forest fires. The effect of these natural phenomena has been exacerbated.
- People in poorer developing countries are less polluting and are not responsible for most of the past emissions but feel some of the bad effects of climate change.
- They need money to reduce their emission and to cope with climate change. This means, for example, that countries that rely on coal and flood protection systems for energy may have more solar panels.
- Other confirmed guest was Israel Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and French President Emmanuel Macron. The presence of Sir David Attenborough had also been confirmed.
