After being postponed a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, COP26 began on Sunday (31) in Glasgow, Scotland. Over the course of two weeks, world leaders, scientists and civil society representatives negotiate ways to stop global warming and deal with the consequences of the climate crisis.
Some commitments have already been announced, such as a global agreement to reduce methane emissions — one of the main factors responsible for the increase in the planet’s temperature.
In a fragile position because of the policies adopted by the Jair Bolsonaro government, Brazil presented this Monday (1) the goal of halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
At Breakfast this Wednesday (3), reporter Ana Carolina Amaral, who subscribes to the blog Ambiência na sheet and is following the COP in Glasgow, explains what the conference’s objectives are, analyzes the performance of major polluters, such as China and the United States, and assesses the commitments made by Brazil.
