The UN Climate Change Conference (COP 26) in Glasgow, United Kingdom is a crucial opportunity to achieve pivotal, transformational change in global climate policy and action. It is a credibility test for global efforts to address climate change and it is where Parties must make considerable progress to reach consensus on issues they have been discussing for several years. COP 26 comes against the background of widespread, rapid and intensifying climate change impacts, which are already impacting every region on Earth. Also, COP 26 comes against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the urgent need to build back better for present future generations to ensure a safe future.

The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) is the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change. UNFCCC stands for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Convention has near universal membership (197 Parties) and is the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global average temperature rise this century as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The ultimate objective of all three agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, in a time frame which allows ecosystems to adapt naturally and enables sustainable development.

I make sure that my garden is full of plants to help with the air quality, if there is a bare spot I will plant something to grow so I don’t need to water as much because a lush garden helps to retain moisture and makes its own micro climate. I never discard a living plant because there will always be room for just one more plant. I only trim plant where I walk the rest are left to grow to their full potential as in nature, that’s what plants are meant to do. Non of this themed crap or cut back to within cm’s of its life.LET THE PLANTS GROW YOU WILL BE REWARDED TEN FOLD WITH CLEAN AIR TO BREATH AND A COOLER WORLD

La protección de los bosques, la biodiversidad y las comunidades indígenas que protegen lo que nos queda es fundamental para la sostenibilidad del planeta y del clima. Excelente que se hayan logrado en la COP26 los primeros acuerdos de protección de los bosques, frenar la deforestación y reducir el metano al 2030.

Present development model never cares forests and forest biodiversity. It's high time. We need to change perspective of our development paradigm. Forests conservation and restoration of biodiversity should be high priority. This can only happen, if our Government implement the Forest Rights Act with letter and spirit.

The stabilization of the global human population is EXTREMELY NEEDED!!

With 2 children policy and other incentives to reduce the population growth/birth rate.

Maybe we need to reduce our global pop to be like.. 3 billions? That's our population in the world war era. 80 years ago. Yeah.. Just in 80 years, humankind almost tripled. From almost 3bil to almost 8bil.. That's so messed up!
5 billions in just 80 years. Bruh... Our ancestors need thousands years to get to the 3 billions population.

And after the reduction, we need to stabilize it. So it's not increasing nor decreasing. Every year the population growth rate need to be around the 0% growth and even 0%

Human is not just about food. It's also about clean freshwater, need space(for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreation, waste), wood, mineral, metal, etc.

And because humans need job, if there is too many humans, it will creates some conflict of interests

No meaningful change will happen as long as it stands in the way of making the big bucks. Simples.

Too many humans (greedy humans)
1 child world policy is needed and keep population at 2 billion or so
