Macron finds’ COP26 climate conference ‘useful’ with ‘regrets but also progress’

Emanuel Macron today called “useful” the COP26 climate conference, which ended last weekend, with “regrets but also progress” in the final compromise reached in an effort to curb global warming.

The French president particularly welcomed the commitment of about 200 countries to “accelerate the reduction of coal use”. “We remain vigilant to take the next step: an antitrust announcement signed by high-emission countries,” he continued in a series of tweets.

Macron also welcomed the fact that about 100 countries, which account for “half of their methane emissions”, have agreed to “reduce their emissions by 30% by 2030”. “Now the other half has to commit,” he urged.

The 200 COP26 countries approved an agreement in Glasgow on Saturday to speed up the fight against global warming, without guaranteeing that they would limit it to 1.5 ° C or respond to requests for help from poor countries.

COP26 “reaffirmed the importance that we all need to raise $ 100 billion to mobilize to support the transition to less prosperous countries.”

“I asked to make up for the time lost in 2020 and 2021,” the head of state said. “We owe it to our youth. We will not let it go!” He concluded.
