BERLIN (Reuters) – The first draft of a COP26 deal published on Wednesday should make more clear that major emitters have to step up their ambition, especially those who haven’t done so on pledges on cutting greenhouse gases by 2030, a German government official said.
“It is about the major emitters. In particular those who haven’t done enough … with respect to 2030,” said Jochen Flasbarth, state secretary in the environment ministry.
Negotiators from nearly 200 countries will work from the draft to strike a final deal before the summit ends on Friday.
