The summit of heads of state and government concluded yesterday at COP26 in Glasgow, the work of the technicians continues today to arrive at 12 November (closing date) with concrete results: more stringent decarbonisation commitments (NDC), guaranteeing the departure of the fund from 100 billion dollars a year for poor countries at least in 2023 (it had to start in 2020), define a global carbon market (like the European ETS), finally write the Paris Rulebook (the set of rules to apply the 'Paris Agreement).
The Glasgow agreement: stop deforestation by 2030
Parallel to the work of the state delegates, collateral events continue at the Scottish Event Center: conferences, forums, press conferences by governments, companies, international institutions, study centers, NGOs.
Meanwhile, Greta Thunberg, who is also in Glasgow, has announced a climate strike for Friday morning and a march for Saturday.
THE SPECIAL
Greta Thunberg has called two demonstrations on social media in Glasgow for the next few days, in conjunction with Cop26: a climate strike on Friday 5 at 11 in Kelvingrove Park and a march on Saturday 6, always starting from Kelvingrove Park at 11:30.
For Greta, the political leaders who met in recent days at COP26 "use greenwashing and beautiful rhetoric", but "it already seems that they are giving up on the 1.5 degree target".
"But we - continues Greta - will not let them get away from that".
For the Swedish activist "there will be no change from these conferences unless there is great public pressure from outside. So all of you who can, please join our fight!"
