The Conference of Parties (COP) is the decision-making body responsible for monitoring and reviewing UNFCCC recommendations on  global warming and climate change.reviewing UNFCCC recommendations on global warming and climate change.

International Efforts:

Last 25 COPs since 1995, have failed to limit the Global Warming.

The Global Leadership is yet to provide a clear direction for mitigating Climate Change impacts.

COP-26 starting from 31 Oct 2021 could be the last chance for Humanity to avoid catastrophic decline.

The Main themes of COP 26:

• Limiting warming to 1.5 degrees
• Global emissions must halve by 2030
• Globally reach ‘net-zero’ by 2050
• Mobilize Climate Finance 

COP 21 at Paris in 2015 saw over 195 countries pledging NDCs to reduce CO2 emissions, But post- pandemic Economic recovery is seeing large rebound to Coal & Oil use with 2nd largest annual increase in CO2 emissions in the History

Will COP 26 be hijacked by finance issues, without committing emission reductions?
