Glasgow: note that the world does not do enough to overcome the climate crisis, former US President Barack Obama, one of the key architects of the Paris Agreement in 20-15, on Monday called China and Russia for the absence of their respective presidents during the leader’s summit in COP26 and Shifted to former US President Donald Trump for his decision to withdraw from the agreement.
Taking China and Russia, Obama said he was discouraging to see that the leaders of this great emitter had refused to attend the process in Glasgow.
Their national plan, so far, reflects what appears to be a lack of impact of urgency and willingness to maintain the status quo in the part of the government, and it is embarrassing, he added.
On the decision of the Trump-era, Obama said, “Some of our progress stopped when my successor decided to leave unilaterally from the Paris agreement in his first office.” He made this comment, while overcoming the conference, in what could be an endorsement of what many developed countries to blame the US to take back any progress that made the post-2015 agreement and ultimately slowed the process of both mitigation and support Finance for adaptation.
However, the former US president, said the efforts of state and regional government in the US continued “continued to move forward regardless of the hostility from the White House”.
Obama was studied in Glasgow to provide momentum for an unfinished agenda from an agreement that might still not keep the world on track 2 ° C.
Certain observers believe that the current target of the country that includes more than 90% of the world economy can stop increase below 2 ° C with an analysis of an international energy agency that indicates that it fully achieves all ‘zero zero’ promises to date and the global promises of methane will limit global warming to 1.8 ° C.
others, believe that it might be just a suspicion This stage is because it will not be clear until the UNFCCC analyzes new and renewed contributions nationally which has not been submitted by many countries.
For example, Brazil has announced a ‘zero zero’ destination, but has not even indicated its steps.
Likewise, the purpose of ‘zero’ from Australia is not supported by numbers (mitigation trajectories) that can match the announcement.
Although India has also not submitted its NDC, the country, at least, announced its short-term plan (until 2030) supported by the target reduction of concrete emissions through several steps to achieve long-term goals.
“PM Modi’s speech in COP26 promises strong actions by India with five new targets can fulfill the economic development and climate change,” said Nicholas Stern, Prof of Economics and the Government & Chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and Environment in LSE.
Speaking at the Indian delegation office with an Indian announcement of 2070 zero zero goals and other targets, he said, “It is a very special moment in Indian history and indeed world history.
This is the beginning of the era of opportunities, innovation and investment.”
