What’s at stake in Glasgow? – The appointment of COP26 represents an important final call for necessary and urgent measures to prevent climate change from spiraling out of control, in the opinion of many observers. The recent climate report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of the United Nations (IPCC)red code for humanityby UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, highlighting that “the climate is changing faster and more rapidly than expected, while drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, curbing global warming and tackling the climate crisis” The action taken at the global level for this is still completely insufficient.
impact of human activities Global warming The rise in temperature is now clearly perceived by the scientific world as a cause of widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, in the ocean, in the cryosphere, in the biosphere, and with extreme events such as heat waves, abundant rains and droughts. happens together. Frequent and serious.
faced it climate emergency Countries do not present themselves with very encouraging signs on the eve of COP26. New National Voluntary Contributions (Nationally Determined Contributions-NDCs) that set out renewed commitments to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement show progress but are completely inadequate in the short term and long term up to 2030 . With the goal of climate neutrality by 2050 Anthropogenic emissions and removal of greenhouse gases.
The core economies gathered around the G20 grouping show very mixed signs. NS United States, Europe and Great Britain Those are the countries that have i. have submitted Chief emissions reduction commitmentsChina has made only one promise of reform, Brazil and Mexico have made their commitments worse by expecting higher emissions, while India is yet to make a statement on the matter.
So what is expected from COP26 is a instant gear change Which first implies a credible and substantial increase in commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly by major economies. must be mobilized in the inevitable end financial resources $100 billion a year promises to accompany, Energy transition, technology transfer and adaptation measures, especially in developing countries.
Therefore the role of civil society and non-governmental organizations in Glasgow to put pressure on the representatives of the various countries will be crucial for a change in the negotiations.
