Going into COP26, the world was on course for 2.7 degrees of warming, but now that figure could be as low as 2 degrees. Not the 1.5 the world needs, but progress nonetheless.
Outside the vast steel cordon around the COP26 summit, Greta Thunberg slammed it as a"failure" and a"PR Event."was to finalise the flow of $100bn in cash from polluting countries to poorer ones and agree the rules by which nations should fairly reduce their carbon footprints. And on both those measures it has not, so far, delivered.The cash will come not this year, but next. Close, but for poor countries, a broken promise.
There's PR too. A press release on phasing out coal suggested new ambition from Poland, one of Europe's most coal-dependent nations. It turns out Poland hasn't improved on its plans to phase out coal in 2049 - far too late to turn down the global thermostat.There was a similar announcement about ending deforestation by 2030 signed by Indonesia. Significant, from a country where the orangutan is being driven to extinction by chainsaws for palm oil plantations.
