In an interview with bdnews24.com from Glasgow during the final hours of negotiations at the COP26 summit on Friday, the Bangladeshi scientist stated that they are not willing to give in to our demands and are trying to block everything. Despite this, he emphasized that they will continue their efforts to push for their commitments until the end. Huq, who is the director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development in Dhaka, has participated in all 26 COP meetings since the first one in Berlin in 1995. The promised emissions cuts by the largest climate polluters are expected to result in a dangerous 2.7-degree Celsius increase in global temperatures, significantly surpassing the more ambitious 1.5C goal of the Paris agreement endorsed by scientists. Wealthy nations, which had pledged to provide $100 billion annually from 2020 to assist developing countries in transitioning to cleaner growth and adapting to climate risks, have now postponed meeting this target until 2023. A new draft agreement released during the closing hours of the Glasgow talks called for a two-fold increase in funding to help developing nations address climate impacts, and urged countries to enhance their emissions reduction targets by next year. However, much of the draft text, aimed at facilitating a consensus among all nations, remained contentious due to disagreements over funding, the pace of emissions cuts, and the inclusion of the term "fossil fuels" in the agreement for the first time. These differences, evident after lengthy negotiations, suggest that reaching a comprehensive agreement as advocated by activists and scientists prior to the UN talks will be challenging. The scientific community agrees that in order to prevent the worst effects of global warming, the world must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost half by 2030. However, current targets set by countries would result in emissions continuing to increase. Professor Huq expressed determination to continue working towards an agreement, stating that the battle is not over and they will not give up. The United States and China recently announced a partnership to increase collaboration in addressing climate change, with plans to reduce methane emissions, decrease coal consumption, and preserve forests. A joint declaration on climate change by China and the US marks a return to a time when the two largest carbon emitters came together to help create the Paris Agreement in 2015. However, more action is needed from both countries to address the worsening climate crisis, including reducing fossil fuel use and encouraging other nations to do the same at the COP26 talks in Glasgow. While Professor Huq welcomed the agreement, he noted that there are still unanswered questions and emphasized the importance of both countries working together to combat pollution. The announcement lacks specific details, leaving uncertainty about what has actually occurred. Delegates and negotiators from Bangladesh, a country highly susceptible to climate impacts, shared their perspectives at various levels of the talks, both privately and publicly. The focus is on negotiation and what can be gained from different governments, as richer nations are reluctant to give easily. This is described as a challenging battle.
