Experts say that this year’s UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), to be held in Glasgow on 31 October-12 November 2021, will decide whether the world can achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, as set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement.

COP26 comes at a critical juncture as nearly 200 countries are expected to resubmit their greenhouse gas reduction targets. The new figures will allow experts to predict if the world will be able to limit the worst effects of global warming based on standards set in the Paris Agreement.

What is hoped to be achieved in Glasgow?

It is broadly accepted there are three headline targets for COP26:

To keep 1.5C in reach by ensuring all major polluters deliver new plans.

To deliver a green recovery and finance package for developing countries, including the $100bn but also plans to fund adaptation and loss & damage.

Why is 1.5C significant?

Half a degree might not sound like much but it is the difference between life and death for low-lying coastal countries like Bangladesh and Maldives being wiped out due to rising sea levels.

The projected harm to wildlife and ecosystems increases enormously between global heating of 1.5C and anything higher.

At 2C, experts say there will be almost no coral reefs left, the Arctic will be ice-free in summer once a decade and huge numbers of animals and plants will be extinct.

The chance of flooding will increase by 170%.

How warm is it now?

Temperatures around the world are already at about 1.1 – 1.2C above pre-industrial levels, and greenhouse gas emissions are still on an upward trend.

A report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change earlier this year said weather events once rare or unprecedented are becoming more common.

It said that it will continue even if global heating is limited to 1.5C.

It also said that climate change is unequivocally being driven by human activity, which fuels these extreme weather patterns.

What happens if Cop26 fails?

“COP was always going to be extremely tough," UK PM Boris Johnson told Bloomberg this week.

The big players in the talks – the UN, the UK, the US – have already conceded that Cop26 will not achieve everything that was hoped for as the NDCs likely to emerge will not add up to all that is needed to ensure the world remains within 1.5C.

'The story of coal is the narrative of modern Britain but just a handful of miners remain'

That is disappointing for many observers, but is not a surprise given the complexity of the negotiations.

China, India, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are the G20 nations yet to submit anything pre COP26 - although to give Ankara credit, they have finally signed up to the Paris Agreement six years after it was agreed

What the UK hosts are now focused on is ensuring that there is enough progress on emissions cuts for 2030 to “keep 1.5C alive”, and to pursue as many other routes – phasing out coal, cutting methane and setting a path away from fossil fuels for transport etc.

November Rain

Tensions are rising as Cop26 approaches with rail workers and waste collectors going on strike, Airbnb are screwing over customers who have already booked accommodation in the city by asking for more money and Covid rates are rising.

Speaking for a planet, even the Queen piled in: “It is very irritating when they talk, but they don't do,” she said, in a nod to national climate plans (NDCs) yet to land.

Can I go to COP?

Yes and no. In order to attend, only accredited delegates, media and politicians will have access to what is known as the Blue Zone - the area of venue managed by the UN.

COPs also have a green zone, managed by the Presidency, with events for the wider public.

COP26: Moment of Truth as World Meets for Climate Summit

UK PM says COP26 is 'world's moment of truth' in fight to tackle global warming

Prince Charles says COP26 is The Last Chance

BBC News 31 Oct 2021

This year's UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow is "the world's moment of truth" in the fight to tackle global warming, Boris Johnson has said.

He was speaking at the G20 summit of leading economic powers in Italy where expectations of decisive progress on climate change are not high.

Prince Charles has told told the G20 leaders in Rome that COP26 is "the last chance saloon" and "we must now translate fine words into still finer actions."

The Prince of Wales says that, as "the enormity of the climate challenge" dominates conversations from news rooms to living rooms, the "future of humanity and nature herself is at stake".

He added: "It is surely time to set aside our differences and grasp this unique opportunity to launch a substantial green recovery by putting the global economy on a confident sustainable trajectory and thus save our planet."

COP26: World Leaders Agree Deal to END Deforestation by 2030

Historic declaration at Cop26 commits countries to ending major cause of CO2 emissions

China aims for 'carbon neutrality by 2060'

India has promised to cut its emissions to net zero by 2070 - missing a key goal of the COP26 summit for countries to commit to reach that target by 2050.

The Guardian 2 NOV 2021.

Who’s who at Cop26: the leaders who hold the world’s future in their hands

Cop26 leaders

World leaders have agreed a deal that aims to halt and reverse global deforestation over the next decade as part of a multibillion-dollar package to tackle human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.

Xi Jinping, Jair Bolsonaro and Joe Biden are among the leaders who will commit to the declaration at Cop26 in Glasgow on Tuesday to protect vast areas, ranging from the eastern Siberian taiga to the Congo basin, home to the world’s second largest rainforest.

Land-clearing by humans accounts for almost a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions, largely deriving from the destruction of the world’s forests for agricultural products such as palm oil, soy and beef.

By signing the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forest and Land Use, presidents and prime ministers from major producers and consumers of deforestation-linked products will commit to protect forest ecosystems.

Boris Johnson will unveil the agreement at an event attended by the US president, Joe Biden, the Prince of Wales and the Indonesian president, Joko Widodo. He is expected to say: “These great teeming ecosystems – these cathedrals of nature – are the lungs of our planet. Forests support communities, livelihoods and food supply, and absorb the carbon we pump into the atmosphere. They are essential to our very survival.”

The commitment on nature and forests comes as more than 120 world leaders came together in Glasgow to thrash out fresh commitments on cutting greenhouse gas emissions, amid concerns that key countries have failed to step up.

On a day devoted to speeches by presidents and prime ministers that underlined the scale of the challenges ahead, Johnson said future generations “will judge us with bitterness” if the conference fails. Other key moments included:

Under the 2015 Paris climate accord, nations committed to restricting global temperature rises to ‘well below’ 2C

India pledged to reach net zero emissions by 2070. Although it is the first time the world’s third biggest polluter has set this target, and experts said it was a realistic commitment, it is 20 years behind the 2050 date set agreed by other developed countries.

President Biden warned that greater urgency was needed at the talks: “Right now, we are falling short. There’s no time to hang back, sit on the fence or argue amongst ourselves.”

António Guterres, the UN secretary general, said the world was being driven to the brink by an addiction to fossil fuels. “We are fast approaching tipping points that will trigger escalating feedback loops of global heating,” he warned.

In a recorded message, the Queen called on leaders to “rise above the politics of the moment, and achieve true statesmanship”. She added: “Of course, the benefits of such actions will not be there to enjoy for all of us here today: we none of us will live forever. But we are doing this not for ourselves but for our children and our children’s children, and those who will follow in their footsteps.”

Following his own speech, Johnson provoked some ridicule by admitting he would fly home rather than take the train.

Shortly before, he had told a roundtable of leaders of developing nations: “When it comes to tackling climate change, words without action, without deeds are absolutely pointless.”

The commitments on deforestation are an early win for the UK, which as host nation bears responsibility for forging a consensus among the nearly 200 countries present, amid concerns that an overall commitment on cutting greenhouse gas emissions by the 45% scientists say is needed this decade will fall short.

The political declaration, which is voluntary and not part of the Paris process, is one of a range of side deals that the UK presidency is pushing for at the climate summit in Glasgow alongside others on methane, cars and coal.

The package includes £5.3bn of new private finance and £8.75bn of public funding for restoring degraded land, supporting indigenous communities, protecting forests and mitigating wildfire damage.

A pledge from CEOs to eliminate activities linked to deforestation, and £1.5bn funding from the UK government for forests, are also part of the deal. £350m of that will go to Indonesia and £200m to the Congo basin, with a new £1.1bn fund for the west African rainforest.

While the forestry agreement has been cautiously welcomed by ecologists and forest governance experts, they point to previous deals to save forests that have so far failed to stop their destruction, including in 2014. But this time, the EU, China and the US alongside major forested countries like Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Papua New Guinea will all sign the commitment.

Many details need to be clarified, particularly how the money is spent, according to Carlos Rittl, who works on Brazil for the Rainforest Foundation Norway. “Big cheques won’t save the forests if the money doesn’t go into the right hands,” he said, emphasising that it should go to indigenous groups and others who are committed to protecting the forest.

In a separate announcement, at least £1.25bn of funding will be given directly to indigenous peoples and local communities by governments and philanthropists for their role in protecting forests.

But the promised funds still fall far short of what some believe is needed. “We are undervalued and our rights are still not respected,” said Mina Setra, an indigenous rights activist from Borneo. “A statement is not enough. We need evidence, not only words.”

We Should Not Feel Guilty About Using Aircraft, Says Grant Shapps

World leaders travel in 400 private jets to discuss climate change

Transport Secretary reveals progress on green transport proposals as Prime Minister urges Cop26 negotiators to ‘pull out all the
stops’

The Telegraph 10 NOV 2021

Grant Shapps

Flying is not the “ultimate evil”, the Transport Secretary has said, as Boris Johnson is set to return to Glasgow for crunch climate change talks. Speaking about plans to reach net zero emissions and unveiling progress on proposals for greener transport, Grant Shapps said travel should be “guilt-free”.

More than 400 private jets carrying world leaders and executives flew into Glasgow for the COP26 climate summit, with many quick to point out the apparent irony.
