Greta Thunberg, a well-known climate activist, stated, "Blah blah blah (meaningless babble)" when asked how she would sum up last week's climate change conference in Glasgow. UN The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) hosted its 26th Conference on Climate Change (CoP26) in Glasgow, Scotland. As planned, the 197-nation summit will begin on october 31 and end on november 12. The meetings were, however, postponed for a day since the two governments were unable to achieve an agreement on climate change. All countries then signed the Glasgow Climate Pact (GCP).


The international Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Sixth Assessment Report three months before the start of the Glasgow Conference, making similar predictions. 'Climate Change 2021: Physical Science Evidence,' according to the report, presented a number of scientifically sound warnings. The average world temperature has already risen by 1.1 degrees Celsius since the Industrial Revolution began. The 'Paris Agreement' of 2015 aims to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. According to scientists, once that limit is reached, the climatic disaster would become unmanageable and the crisis will spiral out of control.


At the same time, it should be noted that the Glasgow Accord was not drafted with only 100 months to spare to avoid major climate calamities and preserve the planet from extinction. Scientists and environmentalists have slammed the watered-down accord for failing to prevent a global catastrophe.


The principal issue of debate during the Glasgow Climate Conference was the reduction of fossil-petroleum fuel consumption, the suspension of fossil-petroleum fuel subsidies, and the end of coal-fired power generation. There was no mention of reducing the use of coal and petroleum fuels in the previous paris Agreement. Climate change has turned out to be unfortunate, according to the data available to us in the following era. India, on the other hand, was adamant in its opposition to the Glasgow Conference's suggestions for a time limit on the use of fossil fuels and coal. It was also opposed by Iran, China, and South Africa.


Coal and petroleum fuels should be phased out, according to the draught Glasgow Climate Agreement. On the advice of Union Environment and Climate Change minister Bhupender Yadav, the word was altered. Instead, the Glasgow Final Agreement was amended to include the phrase "gradually reduce," which does not promise anything. As a result, small island nations suffering difficulties as a result of climate change were left unsatisfied. The reason for this is because coal, which is mostly burned for power generation, is the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions. The island states are going to sink shortly if they are not abandoned.
