The Glasgow Climate Conference

 　　　　I was curious about agreement in the COP26 and I read an article about that. Therefore, I’d like to outline the contents. Also, I’ll write what I thought about that.

     　　 Although not legally binding, the agreement sets the global agenda on climate change for the next decade. For the first time at a COP conference, countries pledge explicit plan to reduce use of coal. Its plan is responsible for 40% of annual CO2 emissions. However, countries agreed weaker commitment to phase down rather than phase out. Coal consumption by China and Indonesia is one reason for this, but I think we must give importance to new energy than consumption. The US and China pledged to cooperate more over the next decade in areas including methane emissions and the switch to clean energy. In this way, one country have to corporate with another country, I think.
