“For climate change is already a matter of life and death, they can only stand by and watch because their islands are submerged, their farmland is turned into desert, and their homes are destroyed by the storm. They have high ambitions for this summit.
“Although many of us are willing to go there, not everyone is like that. Sadly, this is the essence of diplomacy.
“We can lobby, we can coax, we can encourage, but we cannot force sovereign nations to do things they don’t want to do.
“This is ultimately the decision they have to make, and they have to stick to it.
“But despite this, we can still be extremely proud of what we have achieved Alok Sharma And his team. “
Mr. Johnson said at the press conference: “Before Paris, by the end of this century, the world was suffering a devastating four-degree warming.
“Remember, after Paris, we advanced 3 degrees. In Glasgow, we have lowered the dial to an increase of about 2 degrees, which of course is still too high.
“But for all our differences, the world is undeniably heading in the right direction.
“Even the most pessimistic commentator will tell you that 1.5 degrees, the goal of limiting temperature growth to 1.5 degrees, still exists.
“Now, this work continues to make this ambition a reality.”
Mr. Johnson added: “We still have a long way to go and there is very little time to complete it.
“But Cop26 has proven that we can do this. We can end our dependence on coal and fossil fuels.
“We can stop uncontrolled climate change, and we can protect our unique planet for future generations.”

At the end of the summit, he apologized to the delegates for the way the Glasgow Convention’s downplay on fossil fuels appeared in the 11th hour.
He said at the press conference: “The reason why I say sorry…not because I think we have not made historic achievements, but because in the end, people think this process is opaque.”
