N. climate summits bring together representatives of almost every country. UNFCCC Over two weeks in November, world leaders and national negotiators will meet in Scotland to discuss what to do about climate change.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a complex process that can be hard to make sense of from the outside, but it\u2019s how international law and institutions help solve problems that no single country can fix on its own.<\/p>\n<p>I worked for the United Nations for several years as a law and policy adviser and have been involved in international negotiations. Here\u2019s what\u2019s happening behind closed doors and why people are concerned that COP26 might not meet its goals.<\/p>\n<p>What is COP26? In 1992, countries agreed to an international treaty called the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which set ground rules and expectations for global cooperation on combating climate change.<\/p>\n<p>It was the first time the majority of nations formally recognized the need to control greenhouse gas emissions, which cause global warming that drives climate change. That treaty has since been updated, including in 2015 when nations signed the Paris climate agreement.<\/p>\n<p>That agreement set the goal of limiting global warming to \u201cwell below\u201d 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F), and preferably to 1.5 C (2.7 F), to avoid catastrophic climate change. COP26 stands for the 26th Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC. The \u201cparties\u201d are the 196 countries that ratified the treaty plus the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>The United Kingdom, partnering with Italy, is hosting COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, from Oct. 31 through Nov. 12, 2021, after a one-year postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Why are world leaders so focused on climate change? The U. N.<\/p>\n<p>Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\u2019s latest report, released in August 2021, warns in its strongest terms yet that human activities have unequivocally warmed the planet, and that climate change is now widespread, rapid and intensifying.<\/p>\n<p>The IPCC\u2019s scientists explain how climate change has been fueling extreme weather events and flooding, severe heat waves and droughts, loss and extinction of species, and the melting of ice sheets and rising of sea levels. U. N. Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres called the report a \u201ccode red for humanity. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Enough greenhouse gas emissions are already in the atmosphere, and they stay there long enough, that even under the most ambitious scenario of countries quickly reducing their emissions, the world will experience rising temperatures through at least mid-century.<\/p>\n<p>However, there remains a narrow window of opportunity. If countries can cut global emissions to \u201cnet zero\u201d by 2050, that could bring warming back to under 1.5 C in the second half of the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>How to get closer to that course is what leaders and negotiators are discussing. What happens at COP26? During the first days of the conference, around 120 heads of state, like U. S. President Joe Biden, and their representatives will gather to demonstrate their political commitment to slowing climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Once the heads of state depart, country delegations, often led by ministers of environment, engage in days of negotiations, events and exchanges to adopt their positions, make new pledges and join new initiatives. These interactions are based on months of prior discussions, policy papers and proposals prepared by groups of states, U. N. staff and other experts.<\/p>\n<p>Nongovernmental organizations and business leaders also attend the conference, and COP26 has a public side with sessions focused on topics such as the impact of climate change on small island states, forests or agriculture, as well as exhibitions and other events.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting ends with an outcome text that all countries agree to. Guterres publicly expressed disappointment with the COP25 outcome, and there are signs of trouble heading into COP26.<\/p>\n<p>What is COP26 expected to accomplish? Countries are required under the Paris Agreement to update their national climate action plans every five years, including at COP26.<\/p>\n<p>This year, they\u2019re expected to have ambitious targets through 2030. These are known as nationally determined contributions, or NDCs. The Paris Agreement requires countries to report their NDCs, but it allows them leeway in determining how they reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The initial set of emission reduction targets in 2015 was far too weak to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. One key goal of COP26 is to ratchet up these targets to reach net zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century.<\/p>\n<p>Another aim of COP26 is to increase climate finance to help poorer countries transition to clean energy and adapt to climate change. This is an important issue of justice for many developing countries whose people bear the largest burden from climate change but have contributed least to it.<\/p>\n<p>Wealthy countries promised in 2009 to contribute $100 billion a year by 2020 to help developing nations, a goal that has not been reached. The U. S. , U. K.<\/p>\n<p>and EU, among the largest historic greenhouse emitters, are increasing their financial commitments, and banks, businesses, insurers and private investors are being asked to do more.<\/p>\n<p>Other objectives include phasing out coal use and generating solutions that preserve, restore or regenerate natural carbon sinks, such as forests. Another challenge that has derailed past COPs is agreeing on implementing a carbon trading system outlined in the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Are countries on track to meet the international climate goals? The U. N. warned in September 2021 that countries\u2019 revised targets were too weak and would leave the world on pace to warm 2.7 C (4.9 F) by the end of the century.<\/p>\n<p>However, governments are also facing another challenge this fall that could affect how they respond: Energy supply shortages have left Europe and China with price spikes for natural gas, coal and oil.<\/p>\n<p>China \u2013 the world\u2019s largest emitter \u2013 has not yet submitted its NDC. Major fossil fuel producers such as Saudi Arabia, Russia and Australia seem unwilling to strengthen their commitments.<\/p>\n<p>India \u2013 a critical player as the second-largest consumer, producer and importer of coal globally \u2013 has also not yet committed. Other developing nations such as Indonesia, Malaysia, South Africa and Mexico are important.<\/p>\n<p>So is Brazil, which, under Javier Bolsonaro\u2019s watch, has increased deforestation of the Amazon \u2013 the world\u2019s largest rainforest and crucial for biodiversity and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>What happens if COP26 doesn\u2019t meet its goals? Many insiders believe that COP26 won\u2019t reach its goal of having strong enough commitments from countries to cut global greenhouse gas emissions 45% by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>That means the world won\u2019t be on a smooth course for reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and the goal of keeping warming under 1.5 C. But organizers maintain that keeping warming under 1.5 C is still possible.<\/p>\n<p>Former Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been leading the U. S. negotiations, remains hopeful that enough countries will create momentum for others to strengthen their reduction targets by 2025. The cost of failure is astronomical.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have shown that the difference between 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius can mean the submersion of small island states, the death of coral reefs, extreme heat waves, flooding and wildfires, and pervasive crop failure.<\/p>\n<p>That translates into many premature deaths, more mass migration, major economic losses, large swaths of unlivable land and violent conflict over resources and food \u2013 what the U.<\/p>\n<p>N. secretary-general has called \u201ca hellish future. \u201d Shelley Inglis Executive Director, University of Dayton Human Rights Center, University of Dayton<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
