2:34Now PlayingPrime Minister Boris Johnson said a “determined push” from his fellow leaders will be necessary to curb global warming during his speech at COP26.
The first draft outcomes for the COP26 meeting in Glasgow put greater onus on countries to improve on their individual efforts to fight climate change and ramp up scrutiny of those blueprints.
Nations will be asked to strengthen their climate plans by the end of next year, the early version of the document shows.
U.S. climate envoy John Kerry told Bloomberg yesterday it was insanity not to review plans every year, and that idea seems to be gaining traction: The United Nations will report every year on where countries’ plans leave us.
The U.K. hosts of COP26 are under pressure to show progress from the 2015 Paris climate accords, on everything from emissions to limiting rises in global temperatures.
A key demand from countries that face existential threats from climate change has been for laggards to get their plans in order — and fast.
But there’s a glitch: Some of the biggest polluters still haven’t even presented the submissions that were due before COP26. India hasn't provided an official roadmap since 2016.
At the moment, we’re on track for 2.7 degrees of warming — a catastrophic outcome.
And there remains little in the way of money, especially for poorer countries. Fairness is at the heart of the negotiations because Western nations became wealthy via industrialization that damaged the environment, and developing countries face the challenge of growing economically without doing the same.
The plans coming from COP26 so far are not good enough, Greenpeace says. It’s unclear if more words will do the job.
