C, so nations agreed to return to the table within a year with more ambitious plans to cut emissions.
But since COP26, just 24 countries have come forward with updated plans, a figure Stiell said was “disappointing”. “Government decisions and actions must reflect the level of urgency, the gravity of the threats we are facing, and the shortness of the time we have remaining to avoid the devastating consequences of runaway climate change,” he said.
Next month, nations will gather at the COP27 climate summit in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, where they will once again come under pressure both to raise their ambition on carbon cuts and to provide more financing to help vulnerable countries implement their climate plans in full. “Raising ambition and urgent implementation is indispensable for addressing the climate crisis,” said Sameh Shoukry, Egypt’s minister of foreign affairs and COP27 president-designate, in a press release. “COP27 will be the world’s watershed moment on climate action.”
Climate campaigners echoed the call for tougher action on emissions. In a statement, Tom Evans at climate think tank E3G said it is “critical that governments significantly increase the level of their 2030 climate targets as soon as possible”.newsletter to get a dose of climate optimism delivered straight to your inbox, every Thursday
