COP26 climate deal includes historic reference to fossil fuels but doesn’t meet urgency of the crisis

CNN  

Glasgow, Scotland CNN — Nearly 200 nations reached a climate agreement on Saturday at COP26 with an unprecedented reference to the role of fossil fuels in the climate crisis, even after an 11th-hour objection from India that watered down the language around reducing the use of coal. He orally made India’s requested amendment, changing the text to a phasing “down” of coal as opposed to a phasing “out.” The text also includes language around moving away from fossil fuel subsidies. “We don’t need to phase down but to phase out coal and fossil fuel subsidies,” said Sommaruga, who represents the Environmental Integrity Group, which includes six parties to the UN climate change agency. When asked how COP puts pressure on countries to reduce their emissions, US climate envoy John Kerry said that the only way pressure is exerted is “the acceptance of moral and public responsibility for actions.” He said that what compels countries is the “public scrutiny that holds you accountable to your own promises.” “That’s a huge level of accountability, frankly,” Kerry said. Most impacted ‘hung out to dry’ Beyond fossil fuels, there was a sharp divide between developed and developing nations all week over funding to adapt to the climate crisis, but also the idea of setting up a new “loss and damage” fund which would have seen wealthy nations pay for climate crisis impacts in more vulnerable countries.
