UN's 25th annual international COP conference wraps up with the world’s major polluters resisting calls to ramp up their efforts to keep global warming at bay.
COP summits are important opportunities for smaller countries — some of whom are already experiencing the effects of climate change — to come together with larger, more industrialized countries, according to experts. Many of these smaller nations had hoped to win guarantees of financial aid to cope with climate change.
“The international community lost an important opportunity to show increased ambition on mitigation, adaptation and finance to tackle the climate crisis,” tweeted U.N. Secretary General António Guterres on Sunday, adding that he was “disappointed” with the result. “What I am concerned about is that we are moving to a similar dynamic that we did before Copenhagen in that countries don’t trust each other anymore,” said Klein.“Paris was a shared moment, there was a sense of urgency and the belief that collectively we could do something about this incredible problem. That sense of shared urgency seems to be going by the wayside,” he added.from the 2015 accord, a process that will be completed a day after the next presidential election.
