Description

THE UK in partnership with Italy is hosting Climate COP26 at Glasgow, with heads of states, government delegates, business leaders, scientists and civil society activists in attendance. COP26’s major objective is the review of the status of the Nationally Determined Contributions that 190 countries committed to at Paris in 2015 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Since Paris, scientific evidence strongly suggests that reaching that goal is urgent — the UNEP in its report on Emissions Gap has warned that country pledges under the NDCs will fail to keep the global temperature rise under 1.5°C this century, and that the world will record 2.7°C with hugely destructive impacts.
