Meanwhile, the 20 largest economies (the Group of Twenty), which are responsible for 80 percent of the world’s carbon emissions, held a summit in Rome where their representatives are due to cross over to the UN’s COP26 climate conference, which began today in Glasgow. The largest emitting countries include the United States, China, Germany, India and Brazil.
On Saturday, the first day of the meeting in Rome, talks were held on topics such as health and the economy, and the issue of preserving the climate and the environment remained until Sunday. Climate researchers and activists are expected to be very disappointed with the outcome of the meeting, given that the draft agreements leaked so far show very little progress in reducing pollution.
