this Prime Minister Urge countries to “go all out” before returning Glasgow At the summit on Wednesday, negotiators will review the first draft of the “cover decision”-the outcome of negotiations aimed at promoting climate action.
At the same time, a number of transportation targets have been set, including the need to achieve zero emissions for new heavy trucks sold in the UK by 2040.
The 30 countries also agreed to work together to make zero-emission vehicles the new normal, and the “Green Shipping Corridor” plan will be announced to promote the transition to zero-emission ships.
In total, 14 states accounting for more than 40% of global aviation emissions have included their names in their commitments to new decarbonization targets.
Before the announcement, the Minister of Transportation Grant Sharps Said that travel, including aviation, should be “not guilty” and added that the government does not consider flying to be the “ultimate sin”.
On this occasion, those who participated in Cop26, including the prime minister, were criticized for using airplanes for short trips.
Mr. Shaps told the Daily Telegraph: “I believe that as Minister of Transportation, we can travel innocently in this country. There is an idea that is allowed to penetrate in some way if we are to meet all these different carbon commitments. , We will need to reach the point where we are all staying at home, travel can cause great guilt to some extent.
“The farther you travel, the worse the situation, so flying is of course the most evil, as it shows, and this is not what we believe as the British government.”
He added that any change in our lifestyle “should not be the inability to visit your friends and family and do business”.
At the same time, negotiators are also working to reach agreement on the technical parts of the global climate treaty and the Paris Agreement, including a common timetable for national emission reduction commitments and an agreed method for countries to report progress, to help turn commitments into action.
It is also negotiating to provide developing countries with funds to tackle climate change and the loss and destruction of people, livelihoods, land and infrastructure caused by global warming in poorer countries.
Mr. Johnson said: “In the final days of Cop26, the negotiating team is working hard to translate commitments into actions to combat climate change.
“There is still a lot to do. Today, I will meet with ministers and negotiators to understand where progress has been made and where gaps must be bridged.
“This is bigger than any other country. Now is the time for countries to put aside their differences and unite for our planet and people.
“If we want to keep 1.5 degrees Celsius in our grasp, we need to go all out.”
The draft cover decision will be announced on Wednesday morning, and delegations are expected to get in touch with their leaders and the capital to discuss their positions on this – especially those countries whose leaders did not attend the World Leaders Summit, such as China and Russia.
Countries are preparing for the final days of the negotiations. Nick Marbe of E3G, a climate think tank, stated that “ambitions are still under discussion” and that these countries are pushing for ambitions.
An “ambitious coalition” of fragile states and other countries including the United States and European countries called on countries to submit an action plan to limit the temperature next year to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and a long-term plan to achieve that goal by 2023, although There is a counterattack from other countries.
