In an interview with bdnews24.com from Glasgow during the final hours of negotiations at the COP26 summit, the Bangladeshi scientist expressed frustration that the other parties are unwilling to compromise and are trying to obstruct progress. Despite this, he remains determined to continue pushing for their commitment until the end. Huq, who is the director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development in Dhaka, has been present at all 26 COP meetings since the inaugural one in Berlin in 1995. He highlighted that the emissions reductions pledged by the major polluters would result in a concerning 2.7-degree Celsius increase in global temperatures, significantly surpassing the more ambitious 1.5C target set by the Paris Agreement and supported by scientists. Wealthy nations, which had pledged to provide $100 billion annually starting in 2020 to assist poorer countries in growing sustainably and adapting to climate change, have now pushed back meeting that target until 2023. At the Glasgow talks, a new draft agreement was released calling for a doubling of funds to help developing countries address climate impacts and urging nations to enhance their emissions reduction targets by the following year. However, much of the draft text, aimed at guiding negotiators toward a universally accepted agreement, remained contentious on various issues such as financial assistance, the pace of emission reductions, and the mention of "fossil fuels" in the agreement - a term never before included in a global climate pact. These disagreements, after nearly two weeks of discussions, suggest that reaching a comprehensive agreement will be challenging, despite the calls from activists and scientists for such an outcome prior to the start of the UN talks. According to scientific consensus, it is necessary for the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost half by 2030 to avoid the worst effects of global warming. However, current country targets would result in an increase in emissions. Professor Huq expressed determination to continue working towards an agreement on these issues, stating that the fight is not over and they will not give up. The United States and China announced a deal on Wednesday to increase collaboration in addressing climate change, which includes reducing methane emissions, decreasing coal consumption, and preserving forests. A joint declaration on climate change between China and the US marks a return to a time when the two largest carbon emitters collaborated to create the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, without further action to reduce fossil fuel usage and encourage other countries to do the same at the COP26 talks in Glasgow, the climate crisis will continue to worsen. While Professor Huq expressed approval of the agreement, he noted that there are still unresolved questions regarding the commitments of China and the US, both major polluters. The announcement lacks specifics and it is uncertain what has actually occurred. Delegates and negotiators from Bangladesh, a country highly susceptible to climate impacts, expressed their perspectives at both private and public discussions. The key focus is on negotiation and determining what can be gained from various governments. It is a challenging process, as wealthy nations are reluctant to provide concessions easily. It is likened to a war.
