COP26: US and China Pledges, What is New?

At the United Nations climate change summit COP26 at Glasgow, the Presidents of the United States and China, the world’s two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, had remarkably different levels of exposure, but an identical message on one point: the need for action. Both countries do not appear to have made significant commitments at this conference.

In a written message to the Cop26 climate summit, China’s President, Xi Jinping, called on developed countries to “give support to help developing countries do better” in dealing with the climate catastrophe but made no new significant pledges.
