On the first day of COP26, president Alok Sharma reminds UN climate conference delegates of the urgent need to act together on the climate crisis. COP26 UPDATES:
The leaders of the Group of 20 major economies have reached an agreement on the wording of the final communique which will be released at the end of their two-day summit, a G20 official told Reuters on Sunday, October 31.Diplomats have been negotiating hard-to-bridge differences on how to tackle global warming, with phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies, ending coal power and a firm date for achieving net zero carbon emissions among the main sticking points, sources said earlier on Sunday.
For that reason, this weekend's gathering is seen as a vital stepping stone to the UN's COP26 climate summit attended by almost 200 countries in Glasgow, where most G20 leaders will fly directly from Rome.
