The 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference – also known as COP26 – is currently underway in Glasgow, Scotland. The commitments made by world leaders at this year’s conference will have serious consequences on our environmental future. Scientists warn that that future is in jeopardy unless large-scale cuts are made to greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible. Some highlights from the conference so far include: India’s pledge to cut emissions to net zero by 2070, a vow by nearly 100 nations to end deforestation by 2030, and the Global Methane Pledge – a plan from the US and European Union to slash methane emissions 30% by 2030.Overviews shown here include:Glasgow, ScotlandDeforestation in Bolivia, 2021Baton Rouge Oil Refineries
