New Delhi: Greenpeace India on Sunday said the results of the COP26 international climate conference were not in line with the expectations of the people and countries that had faced extreme weather events but also did not despair.
As not perfect because the final results are possible, the purpose of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius may still be within reach, Avinash Chanchal, Climate Campaigner at Greenpeace India, told PTI.
“The results of the COP26 in Glasgow are not in line with the expectations of young people, indigenous peoples and countries that have faced extreme weather events, however, there is no hope,” he said.
Chanchal said the plan and steps were definitely needed to stop the consumption of fossil fuels along with support to vulnerable and developing countries.
“We will love ‘phase out’ of all fossil fuels and not only coal, and weaker this draft is not desirable.
At the same time, this reflects the lack of trust between rich and poor countries because the previous commitment is not fulfilled.
At Current countries, developing countries are far from the funds needed for climate mitigation, “he said.
The compromise agreement was received by 200 countries at UNFCCC COP26 in Glasgow on Saturday, with several countries, including small island countries, expressing disappointment by the changes promoted by India for the phase down, rather than the only coal resources, single home gas emissions glass.
According to Jennifer Morgan, executive director at Greenpeace International, the signal has been sent that the coal era ends.
“It’s gentle, weak and purpose 1.5 degrees Celsius just live, but the signal has been sent that the coal era ends.
And it’s important.” Glasgow is intended to give birth strongly close the gap to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
And that did not happen, but in 2022, the state must now return with a stronger target.
The only reason we got what we did was because of young people, traditional leaders, activists and countries about the climate front line forced the concessions given, “Morgan said.
He further said that the line to remove coal and subsidies Fossil burns that have not overthown.
Weak and compromised, but the existence is a breakthrough, and the focus on a fair transition is very important.
“Calls for a reduction in emissions 45 percent at the end of this decade is in line with what we need to do to stay below 1.5 degrees Celsius and bring science strongly in this agreement.
But it needs to be implemented, “said Morgan.
Greenpeace India Chanchal said this was the first time fossil fuels were named and humiliated in police text, and now all countries need to ensure a strict 2030 target at the end of next year to achieve 1.5 degree goals.” 10 The next year will be crucial and countries must ensure appointments and commitments made in Glasgow translated into the field.
“We have to be creative and brave in doing business and trading in the way we prioritize ‘more than profit’ planets’.
We cannot be toys with our planet, there is no space for ‘green fraud’ by the large pollution industry,” Chanchal said.
Greenpeace India said that the need to improve climate finance from the richest countries is very urgent, and they must come with a stronger commitment to help rebuild trust with vulnerable and developing countries.
“When COP goes to Egypt next year, all countries must come up with a more stringent plan to divide the two emissions targets in 2030.
We have run out of time, and we have to act to get out of fossil fuels in sequence,” Chanchal added.
