26th edition Conference of the Parties on climate change

The COP26, 26th Conference of the Parties on Climate Change in Glasgow, ended On November 12, Italy signed a series of documents and commitments: to reach the net emissions goal of zero by 2050, to create at least six green corridors by the middle of this decade, to increase the clean energy production to accelerate the energy transition, encourage the sustainable agricultural development of forests and other ecosystems.
On the recommendation of the MiTE, ISPRA experts participated in the work of COP26 in consideration of the role that the Institute plays in the preparation of the inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and related skills. Italy is among the signatory countries of the Global Methane Pledge whose goal is to reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030, compared to 2020 levels, and to improve methodological approaches for estimating the main emission categories in greenhouse gas inventories.

The main target of the COP26 are following four:

1. Secure global net zero by mid-century and keep 1.5 degrees within reach

Countries are being asked to come forward with ambitious 2030 emissions reductions targets that align with reaching net zero by the middle of the century.

To deliver on these stretching targets, countries will need to:

  • accelerate the phase-out of coal
  • curtail deforestation
  • speed up the switch to electric vehicles
  • encourage investment in renewables.

2. Adapt to protect communities and natural habitats

The climate is already changing and it will continue to change even as we reduce emissions, with devastating effects.

At COP26 we need to work together to enable and encourage countries affected by climate change to:

  • protect and restore ecosystems
  • build defences, warning systems and resilient infrastructure and agriculture to avoid loss of homes, livelihoods and even lives
 

3. Mobilise finance

To deliver on our first two goals, developed countries must make good on their promise to mobilise at least $100bn in climate finance per year by 2020. 

International financial institutions must play their part and we need work towards unleashing the trillions in private and public sector finance required to secure global net zero.

 

4. Work together to deliver

We can only rise to the challenges of the climate crisis by working together.

At COP26 we must:

  • finalise the Paris Rulebook (the detailed rules that make the Paris Agreement operational)
  • accelerate action to tackle the climate crisis through collaboration between governments, businesses and civil society.
