Greenhouse gas concentration breaks record again in 2020, WMO calls on next week's conference to "significantly increase" carbon reduction commitments

  • 2021-11-18

Reuters reported that the United Nations warned on the 25th that greenhouse gas concentrations hit a new record high last year, putting the world "significantly off track" in its efforts to limit temperature rise. This clearly illustrates the specific tasks for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow. Carbon dioxide concentrations are soaring, prompting the WMO to declare: "We are completely off track." A report from the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) shows that despite a temporary drop in emissions during the pandemic lockdown, carbon dioxide concentrations soared to 413.2 parts per million in 2020, above the average level of the previous decade. WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said the current rate of increase in greenhouse gases will cause temperatures to rise "well beyond" the 2015 Paris Agreement target of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels this century. "We are completely off track," he said. "We need to rethink our industry, energy and transport systems, and our entire way of life." He called for a "substantially increased" commitment to emissions reductions at the COP26 conference, which begins this weekend. The city of Glasgow is making final preparations for the climate summit, which could be the world's best remaining chance to limit global warming to the 1.5°C target set by the Paris Agreement. According to a separate analysis by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), if all current pledges are met, global emissions in 2030 will be 16% higher than in 2010. This falls far short of the 45% reduction by 2030 that scientists are calling for to limit warming to 1.5°C and avoid a climate catastrophe. Johnson called on Russia to bring forward its net-zero target to 2050. "Exceeding the temperature target will lead to global instability and untold suffering, especially for those who have contributed least to greenhouse gas emissions... We are still a long way from the targets recommended by the science," said Patricia Espinosa, executive secretary of the UNFCCC. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told a children's press conference that the summit would be "very, very difficult." He said: "I am very worried that it will go wrong and that we may not be able to reach the agreement we need and that can be implemented immediately. It will be very, very difficult, but I think there is still a chance." The German government announced that Chancellor Angela Merkel will travel to Glasgow for the summit. Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend in person. He and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to participate via video conference. The UK is seeking support from major powers to develop a more aggressive global warming plan. For example, Johnson's office said on the 24th that Johnson had called on Putin to move up Russia's goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by ten years, from 2060 to 2050. The Kremlin said Putin promised that the Russian delegation to Glasgow "will contribute to the success of this important international forum."
