“It simply came to our notice then. The decisions you make will be vital, ”COP26 President Alok Sharma warned at the end of the conference in Glasgow.
COP26 began on October 31, with world leaders gathering in Glasgow and making a series of loud announcements, ranging from promises to reduce methane emissions to plans to save rainforests.
In 2015, the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris called for limiting global warming to well below two degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels and, if possible, to 1.5 degrees Celsius. However, current national emission reduction plans, scientists say, will lead to catastrophic global warming to 2.7 degrees Celsius.
