And then this:
At the conclusion of the climate summit in Glasgow, the summit chair, Alok Sharma, broke after a disappointing closing statement from the top. Although the 200 delegations agreed on measures to limit global warming, a last minute discussion flared up, mainly with China and India.
The two countries were dissatisfied with parts of the text, and wanted an amendment to the part dealing with fossil fuel subsidies and the cessation of coal use. In the text, the initial wording, “towards phase out”, was changed at the last minute to “towards phase down”, or “reduce” instead of “ultimately stop” the use of coal.
For other countries, mainly from the European Union and small island states, this was a big disappointment. Nevertheless, in the end all delegations agreed to the final statement.
