I know that I am not alone in feeling like COP26 was a complete COPout.
In spite of the urgent need for direct climate action, global leaders have instead agreed to a pact that “does not achieve the
global aspiration of limiting warming to 1.5C,” (Independent) – despite that being the main agreement in the Paris Agreement in 2015.
The agreements that were made were hampered by lack of political will: ‘”They take important steps, but unfortunately
the collective political will was not enough to
overcome some deep contradictions,”’ (Independent), showing exactly how they are in the pocket of fossil fuel and big business companies…
So despite the Paris Agreement – despite years of campaigning by climate activist, despite PUBLIC WANT AND INTEREST, our leaders have not acted. We need direct and concrete climate action, not just more green washing.
We won’t stop fighting!! #ClimateJusticeNow #UprootTheSystem
