COP25 climate change meeting: one step forward, two steps back
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The COP25 climate change meeting in Madrid ended on 15 December, two days later than scheduled, making it the longest United Nations climate talks on record. Nearly 200 countries and delegates gathered to finalise the 2015 Paris Agreement, which is to keep the rise in average global temperature under 2 °C pre-industrial levels or lower. However, the UNFCCC has called the outcome of the COP25 meeting “disappointing”. It is hoping that COP26 in Glasgow in November 2020 will be able to make up the lost ground to fully implement the Paris Agreement.
