Yesterday marked the 5 year anniversary of the Paris agreement where over 180 countries committed to keep the global temperature 2 degrees and aim for 1,5.
This year we should have had a meeting in Glasgow to increase the ambition level, but because of the pandemic, it was postponed until 2021.
Instead there was a one day digital meeting where only those delegates who had news would get speaking time. The EU announced that the union will cut emissions with 55 percent by the end of 2030. Norway promised the same already in February this year.
These news, in addition to the happy news that the new US president Joe Biden will get the US back into the Paris agreement as soon as possible is some much needed good news for the climate!
