More than 200 delegates from all over the world landed in Glasgow and stayed for almost two weeks in enclosed doors, reviewing the already known and observable facts that have been happening in the last decade. The delegates debated on what went wrong with the tiny planet - earth which is shrinking and deteriorating at a very fast and unprecedent rate. The planet is the only habitable planet in the solar system.
The buzz word that is come out was the magic number 1.5. The 1.5 degree Celsius is a temperature unit measure that the world leaders are ambitiously calling for. This is not new magic number as it was agreed even before and the last COP25. The previous conference of parties brought the almost same delegates, with a few absentees at the just ended COP26. The huge morale and commitments that were set at COP25 are being re-set again.
Adaptation, forest reforestation and restorations are the key issues that have been envisioned by the world leaders to 'restore' the planet earth. With commitment to keep the temperature at 1.5 degree, it will take a painstaking to meet countries' reductions in carbon dioxide emission, the gas substance which is being emitted in the course of industrial development and responsible for climate variabilities. However, in all these chaotic, the 'dirty guys' are considered to be all countries that are super-developed, while the developing countries are suffering the most.
In bridging the gap from commitments from Glasgow to measurable actions and walking the talk needs sustainable flow of finances. Financing the actions has been committed to the tune of USD 100 billion that needs to be put into action by now, not even tomorrow, next year or 2030/2050 but NOW!, if we want the magic number 1.5 to be read on the global thermometers.
