“No deal would be the worst possible outcome. Nobody wins,” Patricia Espinosa, the United Nations climate secretary, told the Associated Press this Sunday the 14th, about 15 hours after nearly 200 nations agreed to what is now being called the Glasgow Climate Pact. “This doesn’t totally satisfy everyone,” he said. “But it takes us forward. It’s a good compromise”, he stated in the interview.
The world has reached a climate deal that outside experts say has shown progress but not success. It failed to meet any of the UN’s three goals: pledges that would cut global carbon dioxide emissions by about half, $100 billion in annual climate aid from rich countries to poor countries, and half that money to help the developing world get along. adapt to the damage of global warming.
Even more disappointing, a major world economy – India – which is already experiencing droughts and extreme heat due to global warming was the nation that watered down the final deal with Glasgow. Compromise was essential when a last-minute proposal nearly wiped out the chance of possible compromise.
“I’m satisfied,” Espinosa said. “I think it’s a very positive result in the sense that it gives us very clear guidance on what we need to do in the coming years.”
A climate deal alone will not suffice to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times, Espinosa said. But she said that sets the stage, creating a carbon market, allowing more money to flow from rich countries to poor ones, even if poor countries are unhappy and say it’s not enough.
India, the world’s third-largest carbon polluter, whose development is centered on coal, said it could not afford the historical language that calls for the “elimination” of coal and an end to fossil fuel subsidies. For many of the countries, especially small island nations, which face threats from rising seas, getting rid of coal is critical to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and trying to keep warming at a level that would allow their nations to survive. Many countries were telling Espinosa and conference chair Alok Sharma that the coal elimination language “has to be there.” But no deal or deal without India was unacceptable.
In this context, a series of small negotiations appeared. Many in front of the camera, which Espinosa said is important to the world. Small island nations were consulted. They didn’t like it, but like Espinosa and US climate envoy John Kerry said they had no choice. India would have preferred no mention of coal, Espinosa said. Instead, India proposed that the “phasing-out” become a “phasing-out” and country after country said they hated the idea but accepted it. “I think it’s a clear example of commitment,” Espinosa said.
