COP26: 7 climate takeaways from Day 1 of the Glasgow talks

CNN  

Glasgow, Scotland CNN — Nearly 120 world leaders gathered in Glasgow on Monday to address what scientists and health experts say is the world’s biggest crisis: climate change. Here are the key takeaways from the first full day of the UN’s COP26 climate summit: A landmark deal on forests The first major commitment to emerge from the conference was a big one: more than 100 leaders, representing more than 85% of the world’s forests, agreed to end deforestation by 2030. Florence Goisnard/AFP/Getty Images Biden’s apology President Joe Biden apologized to his fellow world leaders that the United States withdrew from the Paris Agreement under the Trump administration. She said it is a “code red to China, to the US, to Europe, to India.” Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne told CNN he was “encouraged by the increased ambitions” set by world leaders at the COP26 summit, but he also expressed disappointment, saying the targets set don’t go “far enough in order to contain rising global temperatures at 1.5 degrees Celsius.” And Panama’s President Laurentino Cortizo said he is not feeling optimistic about what the COP26 conference can achieve.
