129. COP26: Glasgow Pact and Ready to Go Further

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yesterday, nearly 200 countries agreed to adopt The Glasgow Climate Pact after a roller coaster of a COP26...and this is a really big deal. From agreeing to reduce global dependence on coal, to speeding up the end of fossil fuel subsidies, this is progress on paper. But how far does it go to keep our 1.5C target front and center?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week, our hosts dig through a few key details of the agreement, including the new commitment for every country to revisit and strengthen their emissions reductions plans together at COP27, instead of in 5 years time as previously required.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So let’s take a collective breath, get a good look at this thing, and find out where we go from here.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stick around to the end for a special “Pass The Mic” segment we are sharing, which highlights some of the voices we heard around the corridors and in the streets of Glasgow during COP26.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christiana + Tom’s book</span> <a href= "https://globaloptimism.com/the-future-we-choose/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">‘The Future We Choose’</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">is available now!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Subscribe to our Climate Action Newsletter:</span> <a href= "https://www.getrevue.co/profile/globaloptimism/issues/signals-admist-the-noise-543257"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Signals Amidst The Noise</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">COP26 - UN Climate Change Conference</span></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/COP26"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Twitter</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">|</span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/cop26uk/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a>
