(ANSA) – LONDON, NOVEMBER 12 – The second draft document of the CoP26 is overall “stronger” than the previous one on the commitments required of the states of the world against global warming, but “is not yet up to the level” of guaranteeing containment of the planet’s temperatures within the ceiling by 1.5 degrees higher than in the pre-industrial era. This was stated, commenting to the BBC on the text that emerged today at the Glasgow conference a few hours after the conclusion of the work, Lord Nicholas Stern: a well-known economist, pioneer of the denunciation of global warming and author in 2006 of the Stern Report on climate change.

The language of the document “is more specific and more proactive”, the expert added, stating that at least it gives the sign of “a greater sense of urgency” than before and that all in all “goes beyond what we would have wait a few more days ago “. “Now we need to leverage this progress to put in place by next year a system that will allow, I hope, the Egyptian presidency” destined to take over from the British one for CoP27 of 2022 to “transform” its intentions in that seat. in concrete commitments “.

Words of cautious encouragement on the document also come from the parties of the British environmentalist left from the first minister of independence of the Scottish regional government Nicola Sturgeon, co-host of CoP26, and the shadow Labor minister Ed Miliband. According to the Kingdom media, overall the second draft gives governments around the globe more stringent and faster indications on plans to reduce harmful emissions, but eases certain specific commitments on the use of coal and other fossil fuels, while maintaining the objective of the zeroing in perspective. While it strengthens the obligations on financial aid promised by richer states to poorer ones in support of the transition to sustainability. (HANDLE).
