International Climate Talks In Glasgow Scotland 2021




The most important International Climate Talks, since the Paris Agreement, will begin in Glasgow, Scotland, from October 31st to November 12s tht, 2021.

The Outcomes of the COP26 Glasgow Climate Talks, including Public and Private Sector Commitments, will go a long way to determining our Ability to Combat the Climate Crisis.

The COP26 Goals:

1. Secure Global Net-Zero by Mid-Century and keep 1.5 Degrees within reach. Countries are being asked to come forward with, Ambitious 2030 Emissions Reductions Targets, that align with reaching Net Zero by the Middle of the Century.

To Deliver on these stretching Targets, Countries will need to:

- Accelerate the Phase-Out of Coal.

- Curtail Deforestation.

- Speed-Up the Switch to Electric Vehicles.

- Encourage Investment in Renewables.

2. Adapt to Protect Communities and Natural Habitats:

The Climate is already Changing and it will continue to Change even as we reduce Emissions, with Devastating Effects.

At COP26 we need to Work together to Enable and Encourage Countries affected by Climate Change to:

- Protect and Restore Ecosystems.

- Build Defences, Warning Systems, and Resilient Infrastructure and Agriculture to Avoid Loss of Homes, Livelihoods, and even Lives.

3. Mobilise Finance:

To Deliver on our First Two Goals, Developed Countries must make Good on their Promise to Mobilise at least $100bn in Climate Finance, per year, by 2020.

International Financial Institutions must Play their part and we need Work towards Unleashing the Trillions in Private and Public Sector Finance required to Secure Global Net Zero.

4. Work Together to Deliver

We can only Rise to the Challenges of the Climate Crisis by Working Together.

At COP26 we must:

- Finalise the Paris Rulebook, the Detailed Rules that make the Paris Agreement Operational.

- Accelerate Action to tackle the Climate Crisis through Collaboration between Governments, Businesses, and Civil Society.
