British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has urged nations to pull out all the stops to limit global warming. The first draft of an agreement at the COP-26 at Glasgow setting out how countries will cut emissions to avoid temperature rises of above 1.5 degrees Celsius has been published.
The agreement sets out what negotiators hope will be the outcome of the COP-26 talks. It encourages richer countries to scale up support for poorer nations. The seven-page draft agreement focuses on adaptation – helping countries deal with the effects of climate change – and finance, a controversial issue because poorer countries blame richer countries for not contributing enough.
The agreement, which was published by the UK COP-26 presidency, will have to be negotiated and agreed by countries attending the talks.
