COP26 braces for youth protests after the gospel emissions promise
Written by news2in

Glasgow: Thousands of Youth Activists are preparing to get off at Glasgow on Friday to protest what they say is a lack of dangerous actions by leaders on the COP26 climate summit.
Demonstrations are expected throughout the city of Scotland to highlight the termination between the glacial rate of emissions reductions and emergency countries that have been sweary throughout the world.
Organizers on Friday for the future of Global Strike Movement said they expected a large crowd in the three-hour protest planned during the COP26 “Youth Day”, which will be attended by famous campaigns of Greta Thunberg and Vanessa Nakat.
“The UN climate summit, we once again see world leaders say big words and big promises,” said Mitzi Joelle Tan, a climate judicial activist from the Philippines.
“We need a drastic deduction of carbon dioxide emissions, reparations from North Global to South Global to be used for adaptation and to manage losses and damage, and we need to end the fossil fuels industry.” The delegation from nearly 200 countries in Glasgow to hammering how to meet the objectives of the Paris agreement limit the temperature to increase to between 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius.
The UN-LED process requires countries to commit to increasing emissions deductions, and instructs a richer historical government to help developing countries fund their energy transformation and handle climate impacts.
The state issued two additional promises on Thursday to reduce their fossil fuel consumption.
Twenty countries including the main US investors and Canada promised to end fossil fuel funds abroad at the end of 2022.
And more than 40 countries promised to remove coal – the most polluting fossil fuels – even though the details were unclear and the timeline was not disclosed .
Thunberg was not impressed, tweeting: “This is no longer a climate conference.
This is the global North Greenwash Festival.” – ‘Take responsibility’ – Experts say commitment made during high-level leader summit at the beginning of COP26 by more than 100 countries to cut methane emissions with at least 30 percent this decade will have a real short-term impact on global warming.
But environmental groups show that the government, especially rich pollutants, has a habit of failing to fulfill their climate promises.
“On Monday, I was standing in front of world leaders in Glasgow and asked them to open their hearts to the people at the front line of the climate crisis,” said Kenya activist Elizabeth Wathuti, who spoke with the plenary opening of the conference.
“I asked them to consider their historical responsibility seriously and to take serious actions here.
So far they haven’t.” Countries come to COP26 with a national climate plan that, when put together, placing the earth on the path to warm up 2.7C this century, according to the United Nations.
With only 1.1C heating so far, people around the world have faced fires and drought, displacement, and the stronger economic destruction caused by our heating climate.
“We are bored fighting against ‘normal -‘ normal ‘that we have cannot be used, not sustainable and not enough,” Kenya Kevin Mtai activist said.
“We need to change.”
