In a statement, UN General Secretary Antonio Guterres called the final negotiated agreement \u201ca compromise\u201d, that leaves us \u201cstill knocking on the door of climate catastrophe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a fragile win,\u201d said Alok Sharma, UK president of COP26. \u201cWe can now say with credibility that we have kept 1.5 degrees alive. But, its pulse is weak and it will only survive if we keep our promises and translate commitments into rapid action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"73680\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>The Glasgow conference had been preceded by <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/un-emissions-gap-world-has-eight-years-to-halve-emissions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stark scientific warnings<\/a> on the urgent need to cut emissions this decade. This urgency has been reflected in the final decision text that recognises the need to reduce \u201cglobal carbon dioxide emissions by 45 per cent by 2030 relative to the 2010 level and to net zero around mid-century\u201d, and for countries to take \u201caccelerated action in this critical decade\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that countries had updated their climate plans, known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs), ahead of the conference, major increases in ambition during the two weeks were always unlikely. This is why the UK presidency also pursued a strategy of galvanising collective action across key sectors by 2030. The strategy succeeded in getting the talks off to a positive start with a <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/cop26-coal-cash-and-trees-glasgow-talks-kick-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flurry of sectoral deals<\/a> in the first week on halting and reversing deforestation and land degradation, phasing out coal, and controlling methane emissions. In the second week, further commitments were made on electrifying vehicles and phasing out oil and gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sectoral deals were largely welcomed. But it\u2019s the commitment to \u201crevisit and strengthen the 2030 targets in their nationally determined contributions\u201d ahead of next year\u2019s conference that will ensure that countries, particularly developed ones, face consistent pressure to take rapid, large-scale climate action this decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"73877\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>This important outcome will keep the focus on the 2020s, preventing countries from relying on weak long-term targets. Several countries have committed to net zero pledges \u2013&nbsp;notably India, which set a <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/india-cop26-crucial-summit-starts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2070 target<\/a> during the conference \u2013 and these now cover 90% of global emissions. However, developing countries and civil society groups have called out many of these pledges, particularly those from Australia and Saudi Arabia, as a distraction because they lack credible policy detail. Developing countries have also argued that by delaying action until later in the century, such policies unfairly shift the burden of reducing emissions onto them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are not equally responsible for the ambition gap,\u201d said Bolivia\u2019s chief negotiator, Diego Pacheco, who represents the Like-Minded Developing Countries (LMDC) Group. \u201cDeveloped countries have overused their domestic carbon space, and now they are using the carbon space of developing countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-farewell-to-fossil-fuels\">Farewell to fossil fuels?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To anyone outside the arcane processes of UN climate talks, it may seem inconceivable that fossil fuels had gone unmentioned in negotiated \u201ccover texts\u201d for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis process that we designed to make world governments take collective action on the climate crisis has had almost nothing to say about the predominant cause of the climate crisis, which is the production and combustion of fossil fuels,\u201d said Catherine Abreu, executive director of Destination Zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet the inclusion of language on phasing down unabated coal power and phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies has been heralded as a significant victory. This is despite the fact that the coal agreement was watered down with the inclusion of the word \u201cunabated\u201d \u2013&nbsp;meaning it won\u2019t cover power plants that use technology to capture their carbon emissions. And then, in the final moments of the negotiations, coal \u201cphase-out\u201d was changed to \u201cphase-down\u201d at the insistence of India\u2019s environment minister, Bhupender Yadav. The language on fossil fuel subsidies had already been weakened from an earlier draft, by the inclusion of the word \u201cinefficient\u201d, at the request of oil exporting nations and the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Kerry, the US climate envoy, insisted the commitment to phase down coal did mark a turning point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBig countries that have been dependent on coal have signed on to phasing down. Now, does that mean it\u2019s phased down? No, that\u2019s the follow up. That\u2019s the accountability. That\u2019s the reporting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others were less sanguine, particularly on the language for fossil fuels. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen it before. We\u2019ve seen it in the G20 for 12 years&#8230; and we\u2019ve seen no progress on eliminating those subsidies since we\u2019ve had that language,\u201d said Abreu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-pull-quote block--pull-quote\"><div class=\"block--pull-quote__wrapper\"><blockquote class=\"block--pull-quote__quote\">Every dollar that we invest in fossil fuel projects, it is one less dollar for renewables or for the conservation of nature<\/blockquote><cite class=\"block--pull-quote__cite\">Andrea Meza Murillo, minister of environment and energy of Costa Rica<\/cite><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Jennifer Morgan, executive director of Greenpeace, described the language on fossil fuels as \u201cweak and compromised but its very existence is nevertheless a breakthrough, and the focus on a just transition is essential\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key test of future climate talks will be whether they can more fully incorporate oil and gas. The Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA), which was launched last week by 10 national and subnational governments, provides one pathway forward for countries serious about delivering a managed and just transition away from oil and gas production, although countries with much larger production will need to join in the coming years if it\u2019s to see any significant impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Danish climate minister Dan J\u00f8rgensen explained that if national climate policies are to be credible then all countries must rapidly work to agree a fossil fuel phase-out and end new exploration and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow can you defend wanting to be carbon neutral in 2050, as some countries want, but still be wanting to produce oil and gas and selling it to others? That, in our view, does not add up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andrea Meza Murillo, minister of environment and energy of Costa Rica, emphasised that a managed phase-out of fossil fuels is essential to freeing up resources for the clean energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery dollar that we invest in fossil fuel projects, it is one less dollar for renewables or for the conservation of nature,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-renewed-focus-on-adaptation-and-loss-and-damage\">Renewed focus on adaptation and loss and damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A major sticking point coming into the talks was the failure of developed countries to keep their 2009 promise to deliver US$100 billion of climate finance per year to developing countries by 2020. Developed countries have now <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/cop26-rifts-remain-over-finance-for-adaptation-loss-and-damage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">promised to achieve this by 2023<\/a> but the situation has eroded trust and left them open to accusations of wilfully ignoring the disproportionate impacts of climate change on the countries least responsible for causing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Glasgow Pact includes an agreement to at least double adaptation finance for developing countries by 2025. A two-year work programme was also agreed that should provide a path to increasing adaptation finance after 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Joydeep Gupta explains in his <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/cop26-compromises-coal\/\">assessment<\/a> of the final stages of the negotiations, developing countries were left disappointed because developed countries blocked attempts to provide a financial facility to deal with irreversible loss and damage caused by climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image block--article-image--undefined\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maldives-delegates-at-COP26_20211115_UNclimate-change-scaled.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maldives-delegates-at-COP26_20211115_UNclimate-change-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maldives-delegates-at-COP26_20211115_UNclimate-change-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maldives-delegates-at-COP26_20211115_UNclimate-change-scaled.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 2560px\" alt=\"Maldives-delegates-at-COP26\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">Delegates from countries vulnerable to sea-level rise spoke powerfully at COP26. \u201cThe difference between 1.5C and 2C is a death sentence for us,\u201d said the Maldives. \u201cWe accept the incremental steps taken in Glasgow, but the progress is not in line with what is required.\u201d (Image: UNclimatechange \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/unfccc\/51678138235\/\">Flickr<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/\">CC BY-NC-SA 2.0<\/a>)<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Maldives-delegates-at-COP26_20211115_UNclimate-change-scaled.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"371 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1707\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"2560\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image block--article-image--undefined\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marshall-Islands-delegates-at-COP26_20211115_UNclimate-change.jpg-scaled.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marshall-Islands-delegates-at-COP26_20211115_UNclimate-change.jpg-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marshall-Islands-delegates-at-COP26_20211115_UNclimate-change.jpg-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Marshall-Islands-delegates-at-COP26_20211115_UNclimate-change.jpg-scaled.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 2560px\" alt=\"Marshall Islands delegates at COP26\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">The Marshall Islands said: \u201cWe have a text that does not have everything everyone wants, but it has extremely important elements that do serve the planet&#8230;

Whilst he stressed the need to address issues of liability and move forward carefully, he acknowledged that support was necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cObviously, an increase in resources ultimately is going to be necessary for people on the front lines. We think that can be delivered more efficiently, probably through some existing channels,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in the final week, Catherine Pettengell, director at Climate Action Network UK, accused the UK presidency of focusing too much on mitigation, squandering time in which it could have been pushing for positive action on loss and damage. \u201cOver the last two years it has been very difficult to get the UK to engage on loss and damage finance,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-meeting-the-emergency\">Meeting the emergency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Few are satisfied with the agreement reached in Glasgow. For civil society and climate vulnerable countries, existing commitments on finance and support are insufficient and the pace of emission reductions by developed countries is simply too slow. \u201cIt is time to go into emergency mode or our chance of reaching net zero will itself be zero,\u201d concluded Antonio Guterres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it is also the case that by the standards of UN climate talks, important progress has been made in Glasgow.
