The final declaration to fight global warming was delivered in pain on Saturday, November 13. What does the agreement contain and what are the reactions?
The Glasgow Pact, finally ratified, will leave a bitter taste for the president of the COP26. The final agreement no longer speaks of the abandonment of coal, but of its reduction. “I am deeply sorry. I also understand the deep disappointment “, said Alok Sharma. Climate action groups have expressed their dissatisfaction, while associations and countries in the South have denounced a cheap deal. “We are really very disappointed, that will not help us, reacted Shauna Aminath, the Minister of the Environment of the Maldives. (…) For us, the difference between an increase of 1.5 to 2 degrees is the death penalty. “
However, many countries prefer to highlight progress. For the first time, a commitment has been made on fossil fuels, as well as on accelerating the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from next year. The next climate conference will take place in Egypt in 2022. Each signatory country must first submit its carbon reduction strategy to the United Nations.
