More than five years after the Paris Agreement
was concluded, there is no consensus on raising
ambition to reduce emissions, making access to low
carbon technologies easier, and adequately
funding mitigation and adaptation. COVID-19 had
the unexpe cted effect of marg inally and
temporarily depressing emissions. The IPCC’s
analysis presents scenarios of large-scale collapse
of climate systems that future leaders would find
virtually impossible to manage. Heatwaves and
heavy rainfall events experienced with increasing
frequency and intensity are just two of these, while
disruptions to the global water cycle pose a more
unpredictable threat. Also, if emissions continue
to rise, oceans and land, two important sinks and
the latter a key part of India’s climate action plan ,
would be greatly weakened in their ability to absorb
atmospheric carbon dioxide. The new report sets
the stage for the CoP26 conference in November.
The only one course to adopt there is for developed
countries with legacy emissions to effect deep cuts,
transfer technology without strings to emerging
economies and heavily fund mitigation and
adaptation. Developing nations should then have
no hesitation in committing themselves to steeper
emissions cuts.
