UK PM says climate crisis talks at G20 over weekend only ‘inched forward’
Boris Johnson has warned that the Cop26 climate summit is at serious risk of failure, as the target of keeping the global temperature rise below 1.5C is not on track and pledges from countries so far are a “drop in the rapidly warming ocean”.
As the historic conference hosted by the UK opened in Glasgow, the prime minister delivered a blunt message that the 1.5C target is “very much in the balance”, describing the chances of a deal that keeps the goal alive as “six out of 10”.
