Cop26 Q&A: What is it, who will be there, and can it save our planet?

So, will people work together to find a solution?

Meanwhile, heads of state, ministers, negotiators, advisers and diplomats are ensconced away from the madding crowd. Here optimism is more tempered. Painstaking work is conducted behind closed doors and the mood ebbs and flows in pursuit of agreement.All too often the outcome has meant disappointment and, more recently, despair as the interlinked crises of a climate emergency; biodiversity loss and pollution arising from excesses of consumerism are getting worse.

Methane is a superwarming gas that traps 80 times the heat of CO2. Cutting its production in oil and gas extraction, landfills and agriculture can deliver the quickest climate win. The US and EU have agreed to a 30 per cent cut by 2030. If this prompts a global agreement, it will be a great day’s work – though challenging for Ireland’s agrifood sector.If scaled-up innovation and new collaborative thinking are evident during COP26, it will be a good omen.
