Achievements of the Glasgow Climate Agreement

Glasgow summit was the first conference where talks were held on the use of fossil fuels and coal on a global platform. Around 40 countries took oath for the better usage of fossil fuels and to reduce pollution by fossil fuels.

However, America, China, India, and Australia did not participate in this oath-taking. Moreover, 140 countries deliberated on the declining rate of forests and saving them. Rich and developed countries agreed to fund 19 billion dollars towards the same. Around 100 countries pledged to reduce the emission of methane gas, which weakens the Earth’s ozone layer.

In the context of net-zero emissions, developed countries maintained their 2050 goal. On the other hand, some developing countries aimed for 2060 to achieve a similar goal, while India maintained that it will achieve net-zero emissions by 2070. Net-zero emission implies an economic system where the use of fossil fuels is drastically reduced from the present standards.
