Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Beijing, Washington ink joint climate declaration
At the very end of the COP26 in Glasgow, the two largest economies and greenhouse gas emitters, China and the US jointly announced that they had signed a joint declaration called the US-China Joint Glasgow Declaration on Enhancing Climate Action in the 2020s. It was a big surprise to everyone at the conference as the news conference was held only after an hour's notice, which means there could have been last-minute negotiations about the content and wording of the agreement. The two nations acknowledged the responsibilities of the largest greenhouse gas emitters and global warming contributors and agreed to reaffirm their commitment to keeping the global average temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius. They also agreed to work closely, but not together, to reduce emitting methane and fossil fuels.
At least the three largest greenhouse gas emitters, including India, said something about their commitment to work on curbing the global warming crisis, either for a very long range or without immediate actions. Will the COP26 help enhance the world’s efforts to save the planet?
Enjoy reading the article and
