Climate change affects everything from geopolitics to economies to migration. It shapes cities, life expectancies and wine lists and the world has done too little to tackle climate change. In Glasgow parties agreed on three ways to start doing more. In the COP26 summit, the European Commission’s vice president plea seemed to unblock the long drawn-out proceedings in which no one was getting all that they wanted, and some seemed they might not be getting enough to make it worth the candle and the speeches that followed showed alot of compromise on their misgivings and countries promised support for the climate pact. How far are we to achieving net zero ?
