COP26 will end on Friday 12 November. While decisions have been signed every day, NGOs are already denouncing the failure of this conference.
All smiles, the great powers of the world met on November 1 in Glasgow, United Kingdom, for the launch of the 26th climate conference. All except China. In this context, the announcement, Wednesday, November 10, of an agreement between Washington (United States) and Beijing (China) created the surprise. “Both sides recognize the gap between current efforts and the goals of the Paris Agreement. As world powers, we must take responsibility for working together ”, has explained Xie Zhenhua, the Chinese envoy.
In a joint statement, China and the United States committed to a series of important actions over this decade. So, is it still “blah,” as protesters denounced this week? The future will tell. But for Greenpeace, we are far from the mark.
