Cup 26 is an action commitment plan for all of the countries that are concerned about climate change and global warming, the richest countries have as their moral responsibility to help the developing nations to meet the set target towards climate change, after all they are industrialized nations who are the causative of this industrial revolution, even if they were not the cause they will still be morally upright to do their part to keep developing nations in with them in this light.

The Queen and oldest ruling monarch of the United Kingdom Queen Elizabeth will be unable to take part because she has been advised to rest and to avoid traveling. The Queen will participate via a prerecorded message sent to be delivered at the conference station, but his son Prince Charles and grandson Prince William will be there.

There is the dangerous peril by name warming which is a main push factor for many disasters and all countries want to spend time sensitizing people about the turbulent effect of heat waves in the long run. The warning is to watch out and put together collective effort to cut gas emissions by 50%. This is due to current trends indicating a possibility to see 1.5–2.5% increase in the upcoming years. The UN that is the United Nations as a block wants to set a pace, recent reports say, there will 2.7% increase but there is this thinking cap that says, individual effort should also put in a helping hand.

What can countries do at the national scale?

Africans for example are having a lot of rain and they seem to experience just about 4% of these emissions, but they must tailor a scheme to meet this net zero by the set date, take for example oil pollution through exploitation that leaves the waters unclean and unaddressed, gas flaring too has been reduced by 70% between 2000 and 2020 by the people of Nigeria according to the international energy agency as a result of tougher penalties, the Nigerian government has promised to tackle all such problems, gas flaring introduces natural toxic pollutants such as sulfur into the atmosphere which can lead to environmental hazards like acid rain as well as the generation of green house gases which contribute to global climate change.

Columbian President Ivan Duque and climate change

The president was speaking to the BBC news outlet on news hour about his ambitious plan for the Cup 26, this year he will not give up coal completely to meet the carbon emissions limits targeted by the United Nations commission for climate change because Columbia only represents 0.6% of total world greenhouse gas emissions, however he will systematically de-carbonize over time because it is not a one day scheme to cover. Columbia is coming boldly with ambition and very decisive with specifics like on the use of coal as thermal effects increase there will be measures catering to the green effect through neutrality processes. Ivan Duque will fight deforestation, through reinforcement and will aim to see a 30% reduction this year as it progresses to the end. Columbia will increase renewable energy by 20% and will increase biodiversity.

Climate change is a major concern for all countries that are headed for a conference in Glasgow this Sunday ahead of the set date 2050 to examine ways to monitor and sustain the planet from destruction, through reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The developed nations in the G7 and those of the G20 too are all united to fight the current crisis that abounds with the change in temperatures. With the present statistics there is a chance that people will suffer from increase heating effect of the atmospheric temperatures because the tendency for temperatures to go up even higher than the current is the forecast. This surge is from burning forests, trees, cutting some and eroding the natural land of its stamina causing weakening of the soil structure and eventually a consequent collapse, seen in landslide and earthquakes.

Human activity is the main cause of climate change, people burn fossil fuels and convert land from forests to agriculture. Burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. It is called a greenhouse gas because it produces a “greenhouse effect”. A green house gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiate energy within the thermal infrared range, causing, greenhouse effect, the primary greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide; greenhouse gases trap heat and make the planet warmer. When the sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s surface some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases

Australia ranked last among developed nations on climate performance and pledges. Australian coal is in demand for energy (both electricity and process heat, which is used in the production of alumina, chemicals, machinery and asphalt production), cement and steel making. Coal is the single biggest contributor to anthropogenic climate change. The burning of coal is responsible for 46% of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide and accounts for 72% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the electricity sector.

The conference in Glasgow will set objectives; its goal is to limit global warming to well below the estimated 1.5–2.5 % that adds, to achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century. Many activists are getting involved by doing one thing or the other to keep the right temperature else we will burn from heat pressure. Volunteering, participating in planting trees, sensitizing the public about too much felling of trees; it is harmful to the environment. Polluting our waters is not good whether by accident or voluntarily.

Question — How old will you be by 2050?

Answer — Are you inactive?
