COP26: negotiations will continue at least overnight in Glasgow

Discussions will continue overnight in Glasgow, Scotland, as part of the COP26. “Hope is the goodwill displayed by all countries this afternoon when they speak, but it is not enough, reports journalist Matthieu Boisseau, in duplex on Friday, November 12. You have to imagine 200 nations around the table, debating, negotiating every sentence, sometimes even every word of this long-awaited joint declaration. “

The journalist evokes three important blocking points. The first concerns the official commitment to renounce funding for fossil fuel projects. The second concerns “Financial aid for vulnerable countries which are currently affected daily by the catastrophes of the climate crisis”, and finally the third on “accelerating the reduction of CO2 emissions”. Discussions will continue at least throughout the evening, adds Matthieu Boisseau, “and maybe even all weekend if necessary”.
