On Monday, November 1, leaders from around the world will speak at COP26 in Glasgow, to give their countries’ climate orientations. Long-awaited speeches, six years after the Paris agreements.
If everyone agrees to limit global warming, action is now needed. The serious things begin Monday, November 1 at the COP26, with the declarations of the heads of state and government, giving their objectives to the negotiators. These statements set the tone and leave room for two weeks of discussion between negotiators.
But a wind of pessimism is blowing in Glasgow as the commitments made in Paris are far from being achieved. “We would have to go much further during this COP26 to keep global warming at 1.5 ° C”, explains Jean-Baptiste Marteau, journalist live from Glasgow for the 13 Heures de France 2 newspaper.
Conversely, the French delegation wants to show its optimism. Emmanuel Macron should remind the podium that with a lot of political will, leaders can act. “Many countries of the South are also counting on France and political voluntarism to force the countries of the North to reduce their carbon footprint”, points out the journalist from France 2. However, French ambitions should come up against harsh political reality.
