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 the other parties do not want to give in to any of our demands and are trying to block everything. Despite this, he mentioned that they will persist in their efforts to persuade them to make commitments 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 first one in Berlin in 1995. The emissions cuts that have been promised by the major climate polluters globally are projected to result in a concerning 2.7-degree Celsius increase in average global temperatures, which is significantly higher than the more ambitious goal of 1.5C outlined in the Paris agreement and supported by scientists. Affluent nations, which had pledged to provide $100 billion annually starting in 2020 to assist developing countries in transitioning to cleaner growth and adapting to climate risks, have now delayed meeting that target until 2023. A recent draft agreement at the Glasgow talks called for a doubling of funds for developing nations to address climate impacts, and urged all countries to enhance their emissions reduction goals by the following year. However, contentious issues such as funding, emission reduction timelines, and the inclusion of "fossil fuels" in the agreement continue to divide nations. These disagreements suggest that reaching a comprehensive agreement at the United Nations talks may prove challenging despite efforts from activists and scientists. Scientific consensus indicates that in order to prevent the most disastrous 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 reaching an agreement on these issues, stating "We will try until the end. The war has not ended. We won't give up now." On Wednesday, the United States and China announced a deal 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 came together to support the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, more action is needed from both countries to truly address the climate crisis. Professor Huq praised the agreement but noted that there are still unanswered questions. He emphasized the importance of China and the US taking concrete steps to reduce fossil fuel emissions and encouraging other countries to do the same at the upcoming COP26 talks in Glasgow. However, the announcement lacks specific details, leaving uncertainty about what has truly occurred. Delegates and negotiators from Bangladesh, a nation highly susceptible to climate change impacts, expressed their perspectives at various levels of the talks, both privately and publicly. The primary focus is on negotiations and what can be attained from different governments, as it is challenging to obtain concessions from wealthier nations. This situation is likened to a war.
