G-20 make mild pledges on climate neutrality, coal financing
Leaders of the world바카라 게임 웹사이트s biggest economies agreed Sunday to stop funding coal-fired power plants in poor countries and made a vague commitment to seek carbon neutrality 바카라 게임 웹사이트by or around mid-century바카라 게임 웹사이트 as they wrapped up a Rome summit before the much larger United Nations climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland.While Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and French President Emmanuel Macron described the Group of 20 summit as a success, the outcome disappointed climate activists, the chief of the U.N. and Britain's leader. The U.K. is hosting the two-week Glasgow conference and had looked for more ambitious targets to come out of Rome.British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called the G-20's commitments mere 바카라 게임 웹사이트drops in a rapidly warming ocean.바카라 게임 웹사이트 U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres agreed the outcome was not enough.바카라 게임 웹사이트While I welcome the #G20바카라 게임 웹사이트s recommitment to global solutions, I leave Rome with my hopes unfulfilled 바카라 게임 웹사이트 but at least they are not buried,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Guterres tweeted. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Onwards to #COP26 in Glasgow."The G-20 countries represent more than three-quarters of the world바카라 게임 웹사이트s greenhouse gas emissions, and Britain had hoped for a 바카라 게임 웹사이트G-20 bounce" going into the Glasgow COP26 meeting. Environmentalists and scientists have described the U.N. conference as the world's 바카라 게임 웹사이트last best hope" for nailing down commitments to limit the global rise in temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above the pre-industrial average.The summit laid bare the divisions that still exist between Western countries that polluted the planet the most historically but are now seeing emissions decline and the emerging economies led by China whose emissions are rising as their economies grow.Britain pushed for a commitment to achieve climate neutrality or net-zero emissions, meaning a balance between greenhouse gases added to and removed from the atmosphere, by 2050.The United States and the European Union have set 2050 as their own deadline for reaching net-zero emissions, while China, Russia and Saudi Arabia are aiming for 2060. The leaders of those three countries didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t come to Rome for the summit.In the end, the G-20 leaders arrived at a compromise to achieve climate neutrality 바카라 게임 웹사이트by or around mid-century,바카라 게임 웹사이트 not a set year.Before leaving Rome, U.S. President Joe Biden called it 바카라 게임 웹사이트disappointing바카라 게임 웹사이트 that G-20 members Russia and China "basically didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t show up바카라 게임 웹사이트 with commitments to address the scourge of climate change ahead of the U.N. climate conference.Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are not expected to attend the conference in Glasgow, although they are sending senior officials to the international COP26 talks.바카라 게임 웹사이트The disappointment relates to the fact that Russia...and China basically didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t show up in terms of any commitments to deal with climate change.

Italy's Draghi said the declaration went further on climate than any G-20 statement before it. He noted that it referred to keeping the 1.5-degree global warming target within reach, something that science shows will be hard to accomplish unless the world dramatically cuts emissions from fossil fuels.

바카라 게임 웹사이트We changed the goalposts,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Draghi told reporters.

Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau said that G-20 leaders were able to get together was in itself a success given the coronavirus pandemic.

바카라 게임 웹사이트The fact that we have well laid out the table and know where the sharp edges are, and know what work we바카라 게임 웹사이트re going to have to do at COP바카라 게임 웹사이트 is a very positive step,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Trudeau said.

The future of coal, a key source of greenhouse gas emissions, also proved one of the most difficult issues on which to find consensus for the G-20.

At the Rome summit, leaders agreed to 바카라 게임 웹사이트put an end to the provision of international public finance for new unabated coal power generation abroad by the end of 2021.바카라 게임 웹사이트 That refers to financial support for building coal plants abroad.

Western countries have been moving away from such financing and major Asian economies are following suit: Chinese President Xi Jinping announced at the U.N. General Assembly last month that Beijing would stop funding such projects, and Japan and South Korea made similar commitments earlier in the year.

China has not set an end date for building coal plants at home, however. Coal is still China바카라 게임 웹사이트s main source of power generation, and both China and India have resisted proposals for a G-20 declaration on phasing out domestic coal consumption.

The failure of the G-20 to set a target for phasing out domestic coal use was a disappointment to Britain. But Johnson's spokesperson, Max Blain, said the G-20 communique 바카라 게임 웹사이트was never meant to be the main lever in order to secure commitments on climate change,바카라 게임 웹사이트 noting those would be hammered out at the Glasgow summit.

John Kirton, director of the G-20 Research Group at the University of Toronto, said the leaders 바카라 게임 웹사이트took only baby steps바카라 게임 웹사이트 in the agreement and did almost nothing new.

He pointed to the agreement to 바카라 게임 웹사이트recall and reaffirm바카라 게임 웹사이트 their overdue commitment to provide $100 billion in assistance to poorer countries and to 바카라 게임 웹사이트stress the importance of meeting that goal fully as soon as possible바카라 게임 웹사이트 instead of stating that they were ready to stump up the full amount.

The agreement to end international coal financing 바카라 게임 웹사이트is the one thing that바카라 게임 웹사이트s specific and real. That one counts,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Kirton said.

Youth climate activists Greta Thunberg and Vanessa Nakate issued an open letter to the media as the G-20 was wrapping up, stressing three fundamental aspects of the climate crisis that often are downplayed: that time is running out, that any solution must provide justice to the people most affected, and that the biggest polluters often hide behind incomplete statistics about their true emissions.

바카라 게임 웹사이트The climate crisis is only going to become more urgent. We can still avoid the worst consequences, we can still turn this around. But not if we continue like today,바카라 게임 웹사이트 they wrote, just weeks after Thunberg shamed global leaders for their 바카라 게임 웹사이트blah blah blah바카라 게임 웹사이트 rhetoric during a youth climate summit in Milan.

Greenpeace Executive Director Jennifer Morgan said the G-20 failed to provide the leadership the world needed. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I think it was a betrayal to young people around the world,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she told The Associated Press on Sunday.

Aside from climate issues, the leaders signed off on a landmark agreement for countries to enact a global minimum corporate tax of 15%. The global minimum is aimed at deterring multinational companies from dodging taxes by shifting profits to countries with ultra-low rates where they may do little actual business.

The leaders also said they would continue work on a French initiative for wealthier countries to re-channel $100 billion in financial support to needier countries in Africa in the form of special drawing rights - a foreign exchange tool used to help finance imports allocated by the International Monetary Fund and also received by advanced countries.

The leaders said they were 바카라 게임 웹사이트working on actionable options바카라 게임 웹사이트 to do that and set the $100 billion figure as a 바카라 게임 웹사이트total global ambition바카라 게임 웹사이트 short of an absolute commitment. Some $45 billion has already been reallocated by individual countries on a voluntary basis.

The commitment reflects concern that the post-pandemic recovery is diverging, with wealthy countries rebounding faster due to extensive vaccinations and stimulus spending.
