| Where do we stand, one
week into COP 26? |
|
|
Through
promoting the latest science, events and more,
at the climate conference in Glasgow (COP
26), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) is
working -- in person and online -- towards
increased global
action on three core policy areas: mitigation,
adaptation and finance.
Launched
in the lead up to COP 26, the Emissions Gap Report 2021: The
Heat Is On found that even new and updated
climate commitments fall far short of the goals
of the Paris Agreement and may lead to global
temperature rise of 2.7°C this century. More
commitments have come but emissions are still
rising and so are the needs for climate
adaptation.
The Adaptation Gap report: The
Gathering Storm out this week provides an
update on the global status and progress of
climate adaptation across planning, financing,
and implementation. Policies and
planning are increasing, yet financing and
implementation lag
behind. |

Meaningful changes in consumption and
lifestyles do make a difference, such as
changing to a renewable energy provider,
avoiding fossil fuel transportation when
possible, and eating a more plant-rich
diet. Put pressure on corporations,
cities and governments. Join
communities of like-minded people for climate
and nature action. Take action by
making your voice heard -- Act Now: Speak Up!.
