CoP 26

You'll be relieved to know that I'm not going to add to the massive pile of analyses, but instead link to this clear summary from Dr Martin Meadows via Transition Town Lewes. 

To conclude, I'll just re-quote (with my bold): 

“It [COP26] has failed. We’ve done it at least 26 times and climate change has not stopped. It’s happening already as we speak. But we have to carry on. We’ll hope we do it again next year in Egypt and do it better next time. Pressure from the outside [of COP] is incredibly important and it has to continue.” (Professor Saleemul Huq, Director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development and Professor at the Independent University Bangladesh; advisor to the Group of Least Developed Countries, interviewed on Channel 4 News, 13 November 2021.)
