Glasgow: The COP26 climate summit president calls for countries to work together to prevent the most powerful impact of global warming when he opened a meeting on Sunday.
Glasgow Gathering, which operates up to November 12, will be “last, the best hope for maintaining 1.5c within reach”, said Alok Sharma, referring to the temperature aspiration of the Landmark Emergency of Paris.

“We knew that our shared planet turned worse,” he said at the opening ceremony, adding that climate change was not paused for Covid-19 pandemic, which caused the meeting to be postponed by one year.
“If we act now and we act together we can protect our valuable planet,” he said.
Experts warn that only transformative actions in the next ten years will help prevent a far more awesome impact.
COP26 inherited his center goal from the 2015 Paris Landmark Agreement, which saw the countries agree to put global warming on “far below” 2C above the pre-industrial level, and 1.5c if possible.
However, the agreement left many important details to be done, while emissions reduction remained insufficient to prevent destructive global warming.
Last week a UN report even said that the most ambitious most ambitious carbon cutting commitment would still lead to the warming of 2.7C “big disasters”.
But countries continue to subsidize fossil fuels, while the Covid-19 pandemic has accumulated at economic pressure.
UN Climate Head Patricia Espinosa said at the Glasgow opening ceremony that countries must turn away from business as usual or accept that “we invest in our own extinction”.
‘G20 agrees at 1.5 degrees of climate change the target’g20 state has agreed about the need to maintain global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level, in languages that are harder than the 2015 Paris Agreement, some sources say on Sundays .
Three sources told AFP that diplomats agreed to the language for the last peak communique surpassed what was agreed six years ago, when an important climate emergency calls for to limit global warming under 2 degrees, and ideally closer to 1.5 degrees.
The declaration, it is hoped that it will be released on Sunday, will talk about maintaining a 1.5 degree target “within range”, said one source, without describing.
