answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2021 answer text <p>Our key aims for COP26 were to keep alive the possibility of limiting the rise in global temperature to 1.5°C (mitigation); help the world to adapt to protect communities and natural habitats (adaptation); to accelerate the delivery of resources needed to fund the transition (finance); to complete the Paris rulebook, and to work together to deliver a safe and inclusive COP (collaboration).</p><p>We have delivered against those goals. Over 90% of world GDP is now covered by net zero commitments and 153 countries put forward new 2030 emissions targets. COP26 boosted efforts to deal with climate impacts and 80 countries are now covered by either Adaptation Communications or National Adaptation Plans. COP26 mobilised billions towards delivering the $100 billion climate finance goal and will reach it by 2023 at the latest. Through the Glasgow Climate Pact we have finalised the Paris Rulebook, and secured amongst other things a route to ambition raising on NDCs, increased funding for adaptation, and progress on action to manage loss and damage. The goal of limiting temperature rises by the end of the century to 1.5°C is still within reach. But this is based on commitments made and relies on concerted and dedicated delivery by all countries.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 25/11/2021 17:58:20 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

But this is based on commitments made and relies on concerted and dedicated delivery by all countries.</p><p>The UK Presidency has also given significantly more focus to championing real world sectoral action than ever before and as a result has garnered significant commitments across high emitting sectors of coal, nature and land use, road transport, and methane, critical to achieving a 1.5 degree pathway.</p><p>Pledges, initiatives and funding announced in Glasgow have contributed to reducing the significant gap to achieving 1.5. The Glasgow Climate Pact requests Parties to revisit and strengthen the 2030 targets in their nationally determined contributions as necessary to align with the Paris Agreement temperature goal by the end of 2022, taking into account different national circumstances.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 06/12/2021 10:46:44 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

This powerful coalition of governments, businesses, Indigenous Peoples and civil society committed to a step-change in global action on forests. The political commitment is backed by almost £14 billion ($19.2 billion) in public and private funding, including £1.5 billion from the UK, which will support action in developing countries, including restoring degraded land, tackling wildfires and advancing the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 25/11/2021 17:25:35 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2021 answer text <p>As COP26 Presidency, we are working to encourage the innovation and commitment of everyone – people, business, countries, cities and regions – as we move the global economy to net zero emissions. This includes a wide range of energy companies.</p><p>The COP26 Presidency is working most closely with organisations that have strong climate credentials – that means companies which have committed to achieving net zero by 2050, have published a 5-10 year plan of action on how they will do this, and committed to Science Based Targets or joined the UN-backed Race to Zero.</p><p>Every country is responsible for choosing its own delegates and the UNFCCC was responsible for all accreditation to COP26.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 25/11/2021 17:18:57 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
