COP26 in overtime, when climate negotiators are struggling to reconcile | Weather News

Negotiators at COP26 are due to meet again on Saturday, after failing to reach an agreement on climate change to resume their global warming.

The draft version of the COP26 United Nations Climate Change Conference was released earlier on Friday, which is due to be the last day of the two-week conference.

But a final agreement to reduce global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) remains stable for coal and other crude oil resources to go to economic aid to poorer countries from rich countries.

Alok Sharma, president of COP26, invited delegates from nearly 200 countries to a conference in Glasgow, Scotland, to come together and finalize the agreement.

“We have come a long way in the last two weeks and now we need the final injection of the ‘capable’ spirit, which is available to this COP, which is why we are sharing it,” Sharma said.

The treaty also includes a law requiring countries to establish strong climate promises next year in an effort to bridge the gap between the requirements and the deep-seated strategies that scientists say are needed for the next decade to prevent climate change.

The talks were “a bit of a hassle,” and the United States, with the help of the European Union, blocked the talks, says Lee White, Gabon’s Minister of Forestry and Climate Change.

White noted that there was a lack of trust between rich and poor countries over payments from rich and poor countries to the effects of global warming – funding for climate change and carbon markets.

COP26 launched on October 31 amid serious warnings from leaders, religious freedom fighters and scientists that nothing is being done to reduce global warming.

The contract is due to end at 6pm local time (18:00 GMT) on Friday.

“The culture of dialogue should not be disrupted until the meeting is over, as we have done now,” said Alden Meyer of the European think-tank E3G.

“But the UK leadership must make many people unhappy to get the deal we want from Glasgow.”

Saudi Arabia, the world’s second-largest oil producer and one of the world’s most vocal opponents of oil, says the latest developments are “beneficial”.

The Saudi envoy, Ayman Shasly, said the country would defend any changes that would “disrupt the borders” of the 2015 Paris agreement.

The final treaty will require the unanimous agreement of about 200 countries that have signed the Paris agreement.

Cutting down oil prices

Friday morning’s remarks from the chair of the conference called on countries to speed up “decommissioning the coal-fired power plant and not providing funding for combustible fuels”.

Earlier reports Wednesday were strong, calling on countries to “speed up the extraction of coal with the help of residual oil”.

U.S. Ambassador John Kerry said Washington agreed with the statement.

“We are not talking about a solution,” he told fellow embassies. But, he said: “The aid must go.”

There were mixed responses from freedom fighters and observers as the addition of the terms “immovable” and “incomplete” was necessary.

Richie Merzian, a former Australian meteorologist who oversees the climate and energy program at the Australian Institute think-tank, said the added warning “is enough to be able to run a coal train through it”.

Countries like Australia and India, the world’s third-largest emitter of air, refuses to be called upon to remove coal soon.

Scientists have agreed that the use of fossil fuels should be stopped as soon as possible to keep global temperatures at 1.5C.

Rewriting key words in agreements on coal and oil prices is “very unfortunate”, Environment Minister Dan Jorgensen told Al Jazeera.

“Some of the strong words that were in it, for example, about fossil fuels and coal … are being reduced,” he said.

Financial matters

Another difficult issue is the question of financial assistance for poor countries to cope with climate change.

The rich countries failed to provide them with $ 100bn a year by 2020, as he acknowledged, sparking widespread outrage among developing countries where they are heading for negotiations.

Recent reports express concern, expressing “deep sorrow” that the $ 100bn goal has not been achieved and encouraging rich countries to increase their spending.

The funding, which is very limited by what the UN says the nations will really need, aims to address “reduction”, to help poor countries with their natural changes, and to “change”, to help them deal with climate change.

The new report states that, by 2025, rich countries should double from existing corporations the money they are set to change – a step forward from the old race that did not set a date or start.

Of the nearly $ 80bn rich countries spent on the recession economy in the developing world in 2019, only a quarter has changed dramatically.

The most controversial issue, known as “loss and damage”, could compensate them for the damage they have already suffered as a result of global warming, although this is just outside $ 100bn and some rich countries do not agree with that claim.

Re-engineering the purpose of ventilation

Reducing emissions is another major problem as countries were asked to come back with new smoke reduction targets that they had to offer before the Glasgow talks.

The plan calls for countries to roll out another target by the end of 2022, but some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, are rejecting the idea, says David Waskow, of the World Resources Institute.

In 2015 in Paris, there was a debate over whether goals should be changed every five or 10 years, so reforming one year after Glasgow is a big deal, said Global Climate Fund Vice President Kelley Kizzier, a former EU negotiator.
