COP26 Dear Reader, In its commitment to working with all countries and joining forces with governments, companies and civil society at large on the frontline of climate change, the United Nations hosted its 26th Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in the United Kingdom to inspire climate actions to nations. The COP26 summit in Glasgow took place from 31 October to 12 November 2021, bringing parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The primary objective of the COP26 was to: commit to more ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. discuss measures to adapt to the inevitable impacts of climate change. increase funding for climate action, for developing countries.
With such a pinnacle event, we couldn’t bring this month’s focus on anything other than COP26, and elaborate on some of its outcomes and impacts on the future of our focal sectors. Welcome to our November 2021 edition dedicated to COP26, and for more insight on this topic, please continue to enjoy reading this RDJ Briefing and do join our conversations on Twitter and Wordpress.

AFRICA AND COP26:
T
Next Steps?
he Conference of Parties (COP26) drew leaders from all over the world to discuss and hopefully agree that the planet was in danger and action was needed NOW! So now that the fervor of COP26 is over and the Glasgow Climate pact signed, what now for Africa?
generation plants instead of looking at embedded generation as a step-by-step action. Further, gains must be made on new or expanded energy demand in Africa. Action areas include fuel switching, fuel efficient use, hybridization as well as behaviour changes.
Examining the 10-page document reveals in summary: Science is needed to combat Climate Change Expresses “alarm and utmost concern” on human activity caused warming The need for “urgency” to enhance mitigation and adaptation ambitions Climate finance particularly for adaptation is insufficient
It must be noted that several actions that do not require new funding formulae’s range from increased alternate energy use in public transport (for oil importing countries) to the adoption of improved town planning that reduces energy consumption through better building designs and reduced energy demand. Hybridization such as adding solar to existing fossil fueled systems thus improving overall efficiencies and reducing fossil fuel demand also offers hope and a quick win for Africa. Just getting urban citizens onto hydrogen, CNG, LNG or electric buses could save up to 30% of the fossil fuel use in a country per annum. Think of the savings!
Sadly, masked behind the diplomacy and the bold commitments, real action is still based on status quo principles. These range from pledges that are to be practically fulfilled, to the difficult to apply funding principles. A clear indication of this frustration is in article 55, reproduced here: Calls upon developed country Parties, multilateral development banks and other financial institutions to accelerate the alignment of their financing activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Funding originally was set to be USD 100 billion per annum by 2020, with only 80% of that being achieved. Point made at COP26 is that upwards of 150 countries have revised Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) which should in principle provide a pathway for ambitions to be realized and the limiting temperature be achieved. This will inevitably put pressure on funding streams. The task for Africa is to find a way to step away from the status quo approach and start taking policy driven steps. Our view is that due in part to the apparent impact of electricity on all, too many projects focus on major grid
Africa thus needs to take steps that are not dictated or dependent on the promised USD 100 billion per annum and look to tradition funding to make the necessary inroads. This will prevent delay after delay on service delivery for Africans. The time to act is NOW! As always, the conversation continues at: briefing@rdjpublishing.africa Comments and articles are definitely welcome.

names. As pointed out by others, the dependency exposes their economies to volatility based on exchange rates and commodity price fluctuations. It is stated that up to 30% of the world’s mineral reserves reside in Africa and not surprising are responsible for the main contributions to their foreign exchange needs for revenues and a driver of employment.
As stewards of the minerals and metals that are critical to decarbonisation and sustainable development, we embrace our responsibility to minimise the impact of our operations on the environment. That is why today, we collectively commit as members of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) to a goal of net zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 or sooner in line with the ambitions of the Paris Agreement (https://www.icmm.com/netzero)
In several low- and middle-income countries rich in nonfuel mineral resources, mining makes significant contributions to national economic development as measured by the revised Mining Contribution Index (MCIWr). Research findings show that mineral (mining) countries do far better economically than oil producing countries primarily when human development and governance indices are taken into account. The size of mining operations also require large, heavy machinery to dig, drill, bore, excavate, grind and transport the minerals thus requiring commensurate amounts of energy. COP26 on the other hand is seeking to reduce the levels of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity which ultimately also includes mining operations. This reduction will have to come from energy efficiency, fuel switching or phasing out actions. The
In its index (MCI-Wr), the Democratic Republic of the Congo remain the top ranked overall African country and in the top two globally. Thus, any action must focus on these highly dependent economies and provide the support needed for a meaningful impact to be made towards Net Zero. Will society act in time?

Namibia as a whole, the Mine Workers' Union of Namibia has recently launched the sale of 25% of Namibia Miners Investment Trust (NAMIT) Holdings to its members, former members and dependants. The 25% stake will be held on behalf of the former members, current members and their dependants through Namitvest Investment Holdings (Pty) Ltd, which is owned by the members through Just Transition Trust (JTT). The units are valued at N$103 million in total and are being sold to union members at 50% of their real market value. According to the MUN president Mayemelo Kalumbu, members can purchase the minimum of 200 units which have a market value of N$2,062, but qualifying members can purchase them for N$1,031. In fact, Namitvest aims to grow the members' investment, providing them with direct benefits through a loyalty and rewards programme that on-boards retailers and various providers of goods and services, therefore, 10% of the units will be allocated to vulnerable and former members The union is content in knowing that going forward, its members, former members and their dependants can now own a stake in Nam-mic Holdings through the purchase of its shares.

ELECTRICITY Electricity is now, the mix is the future! AUTHOR: David Jarrett Managing Consultant at RDJ Consulting
A
s the world prepares for COP 26, the Int-
-ernational Energy agency has released its latest World Energy Outlook-2021 (WEO2021) provides “a detailed picture of how far countries have come in their clean energy transitions, and how far they still have to go”. WEO-2021 indicates that the global energy needs using fossil fuel demand reaching a point of inflection by 2030 and then starting to fall slightly by 2050. This is concerning from a number of angles but with deemed paradigm actions, the fall in fossil fuel usage could be earlier than currently modelled. The electricity sector could be that paradigm shift that could catalyze how other sectors adapt. IEA further points out the realities through every data point showing the speed of change in energy can be countered by another showing the stubbornness of the status quo.
Gt CO2 IEA, Change in CO2 emissions by sector and scenario, 2020-2050, IEA, Paris https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/change-in-co2-emissions-by-sector-and-scenario2020-2050
Covid 19 has also retarded the economies of many countries and definitely with the previously slow roll-out of infrastructure due to limited funding availability, the matter of energy transition does at times take a back seat. IEA in the WEO-2021 Report see the rebound in fossil fuel use and that “universal energy access has stalled, especially in subSaharan Africa”. Fraunhofer (https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en.html) through their study indicate that the LCOE of photovoltaics ranges from 3.12 to 11.01 €Cent /kWh, depending on the type of plant and the solar irradiation, and the specific plant costs range from 530 to 1600 €/kWp, depending on the plant type. www.rdjpublishing.africa
NOVEMBER, 2021 13
In the case of wind power, the LCOE of onshore wind turbines ranges between 3.94 and 8.29 €Cent /kWh, making them the second cheapest technology for electricity generation today. This decrease is due to falling plant costs. Offshore wind turbines are significantly more expensive at 7.23 to 12.13 €Cent /kWh, despite the higher annual mean full load hours (FLH) of up to 4500 hours per year. As Africa requires a push to reach universal access and grow the economies, it makes sense to use sustainable energy sources to replace aging fossil fueled plants and also to drive any expansion of energy demand as society moves forward. The need for funding to achieve this must be found and mandated to drive a clean energy transition that is meaningful. The size of the task is without a doubt huge, seeing that the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP)

RENEWABLE ENERGY End of Coal in Sight at COP26 ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED AT: https://ukcop26.org/end-of-coal-in-sight-at-cop26/
OUTCOMES At least 23 countries have made new commitments today to phase out coal power, including five of the world’s top 20 coal powerusing countries Major international banks commit to effectively end all international public financing of new unabated coal power by the end of 2021 At least 25 countries and public finance institutions commit to ending international public support for the unabated fossil fuel energy sector by the end of 2022 Boost comes as overall a 190-strong coalition agrees to phase out coal power and end support for new coal power plants thanks to a package of support from the UK and international partners

C
oal is being consigned to history today at COP26, as countries, banks and organisations move away from the single biggest contributor to climate
change. A just transition to clean energy and the rapid phase-out of coal has been at the heart of the COP26 Presidency as part of its efforts to minimise temperature rises in line with the Paris Agreement. The breadth of commitments in Glasgow today at Energy Day signal the world is moving towards a renewable future. At least 23 nations made new commitments to phase out coal power, including Indonesia, Vietnam, Poland, South Korea, Egypt, Spain, Nepal, Singapore, Chile and Ukraine. In a new ‘Global Coal to Clean Power Transition Statement’, countries also committed to scaling up clean
power and ensuring a just transition away from coal. Today’s announcements follow a collapse in the financing of coal, as developed nations have pledged new support to help developing countries make the transition to clean energy. Banks and financial institutions also made landmark commitments at COP26 today to end the funding of unabated coal, including major international lenders like HSBC, Fidelity International and Ethos. This follows recent announcements from China, Japan and South Korea to end overseas coal financing which now means all significant public international financing for coal power has effectively ended.

NOVEMBER, 2021 15
In addition, a group of 25 countries including COP26 partners Italy, Canada, the United States and Denmark together with public finance institutions have signed a UK-led joint statement committing to ending international public support for the unabated fossil fuel energy sector by the end of 2022 and instead prioritising support for the clean energy transition. Collectively, this could shift an estimated $17.8 billion a year in public support out of fossil fuels and into the clean energy transition. Developing countries including Ethiopia, Fiji and the Marshall Islands offered their support, signalling growing unity. This is an inclusive agenda that must recognise the development and energy needs of all economies. This is a historic step. It is the first time a COP presidency has prioritised this issue and put a bold end date on international fossil fuel finance. COP26 has set a new gold standard on the Paris Alignment of international public finance and sends a clear signal for private investors to follow. Today, 28 new members also signed up to the world’s largest alliance on phasing out coal. The Powering Past Coal Alliance, launched and co-chaired by the UK and Canada. New members include Chile and Singapore, joining more than 160 countries, sub-nationals and businesses. And 20 new countries, including Vietnam, Morocco and Poland committed to building no new coal plants, matching similar announcements over the past year by Pakistan, Malaysia and the Philippines, and building on the No New Coal Power Compact launched in September by Sri Lanka, Chile, Montenegro and European partners. There has been a 76% drop in the number of new coal plants planned globally over the last six years since the Paris Agreement was adopted. This equates to the cancellation of more than 1000GW of new coal plants. In separate announcements, major emerging economies today took significant steps to move from coal to clean power. India, Indonesia, the Philippines and South Africa announced partnerships with the Climate Investment Funds to accelerate their transitions away from coal power, backed by a dedicated $2 billion facility. Indonesia and the Philippines announced pioneering partnerships with the Asian Development Bank to support the early retirement of coal plants.
"From the start of the UK’s Presidency, we have been clear that COP26 must be the COP that consigns coal to history. With these ambitious commitments we are seeing today, the end of coal power is now within sight. Securing a 190-strong coalition to phase out coal power and end support for new coal power plants and the Just Transition Declaration signed today, show a real international commitment to not leave any nation behind. Together we can accelerate access to electricity for more than three quarters of a billion people who currently lack access, consigning energy poverty to history as we create the clean power future needed to keep 1.5 alive." COP26 President, Alok Sharma
"With 80% growth in their capacity commitment—from 25 to 45 gigawatts of electrolysis—in one year, the Green Hydrogen Catapult and its members demonstrate the near-term potential for exponential growth in green hydrogen, enabled by local and global policy support and rapidly growing customer interest. It is fantastic to see the ambition in renewables deployment, with Race to Zero members committing to reaching over 750GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030. This will only grow as more energy companies join the Race to Zero emissions, and decarbonisation ambitions continue to increase, reflecting the exponential progress we have seen to date in the sector."
These followed the ground-breaking $8.5 billion deal to support South Africa’s just transition to clean energy announced at the World Leaders Summit on Tuesday. www.rdjconsulting.co.za

THE ENVIRONMENT Namibia's Energy Transition: Moving from Policy to Climate Action
AUTHOR: James Mnyupe Presidential Economic Advisor and Hydrogen Commissioner, Government of The Republic of Namibia
According to WEF, this article is part of the Forum COP26 Live: Namibia's contribution to the fight against climate change is a ‘strategic bet’. A key component of the country's energy transition is to leverage its natural endowments to attract much-needed foreign direct investment. As it participates in COP26, Namibia has promised to reduce its emissions by 91% over the next five years.
N
amibia is a small, vulnerable economy with an openness index of close to 80%. It relies heavily on rain-fed agriculture and imports more than 60% of its electricity needs. Yet, this unsuspecting territory of 2.5 million people is endowed with enough renewable energy potential to become a regional powerhouse that could significantly reduce sub-Saharan Africa’s reliance on carbon-based fuels. Often, a key constraint to deploying large scale solar and wind assets is the limited amount of land given a country’s population density. When looking at land availability Namibia is uniquely gifted. Given its territory of more than 824,000km2, population of just 2.5 million people, and annual energy consumption of two and a half terawatt-hours, Namibia posts an energy-demand density score of three megawatt-hours per square kilometre every year. Land availability, therefore, is not a constraint to developing large scale renewable energy systems.
And this is before considering that many parts of Namibia boast solar and onshore wind capacity factors in excess of 30% and 50% respectively. Our offshore wind resource, measured by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, exhibits raw capacity factors in excess of 60% and remains completely untapped.
Reducing carbon emissions
Renewable energy prices have plummeted over the past decade. Prices at global and regional auctions for renewable energy installations fell by more than 60% and 80% for wind and solar installations respectively. At the same time, the world’s ambition to decarbonize its industrial engines of growth, given their insatiable appetite for carbon-emitting fuels, is greater than ever. World leaders, both private and public, have never been more united about a contentious topic as they are today. This newfound commitment to lowering carbon emissions has manifested in a flurry of policy interventions and

financial pledges. The number of countries announcing carbon-neutral targets between 2050 and 2060 is ever climbing, while the amount of sustainable climate financing is reaching record levels.
Intent with Germany, an MOU with Rotterdam, and is on course to announce similar partnerships with our Belgian and Dutch counterparts at the COP26 summit currently underway in Glasgow, Scotland.
The first six months of 2021 saw more climate funding raised than all of 2020. And the latest $1 billion of sustainable financing was raised in just eight months, whereas the first $2 billion took three years.
We recently hosted a continent-first Energy Roundtable with the World Economic Forum where we issued a global invitation for international collaboration to build gigawatt-scale electrolyser units in the Karas region. This invitation culminated in nine multi-billion-dollar proposals from six global, regional, and local developers, which at the time of writing this article, we have just completed reviewing.
In this global context, Namibia considers its contribution to the fight against climate change a ‘strategic bet’. President Hage Geingob and the Namibian government understand that Namibia has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to significantly reduce its emissions - and that of its neighbours - by leveraging its natural endowments to attract much-needed foreign direct investment.
Southern Corridor Development Initiative
It was in this spirit that the Southern Corridor Development Initiative (SCDI) in Namibia’s Karas region was conceptualized. The SCDI is envisioned to include a portfolio of complementary infrastructure projects in the Karas region of Namibia, which if effectively conceptualized and delivered could have a transformative impact on the Namibian economy. The portfolio includes renewable energy plants, green hydrogen ammonia assets, rail and port concessions, nearby mining hubs and agricultural assets. The Karas region is in Namibia’s southernmost province. It has the lowest population density in the country but has the greatest renewable-energy potential. Strategically situated on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the region offers Namibia the perfect opportunity to share its resources. Its Luderitz port is well-positioned to act as a conduit to deliver green hydrogen and ammonia to the world. Namibia’s port operator, the Namibian Port Authority (NAMPORT), recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Europe’s largest port operator, the Port of Rotterdam, to build the necessary infrastructure to transport these clean fuels to Europe. By delivering on the vision of the SCDI, Namibia is meaningfully contributing to a just and equitable energy transition in Southern Africa and beyond.
Strategic partnerships
Since the launch of our Harambee Prosperity Plan II in March 2021, Namibia has signed a Joint Communique of
The proposals are rich, complex, and diverse, and we are analyzing them from a variety of approaches with input from the United States’ Scaling Up Renewable Energy (SURE) programme and the European Union’s Global Technical Assistance Facility on Sustainable Energy. Colorado’s National Renewable Energy Lab in the US has also provided an intricate review of the financial and technical models submitted, while European energy experts provided holistic and well-rounded qualitative analyses.
Our presence at COP26
As Namibia participates in COP26, not only have we issued our revised nationally determined contributions on time, but therein we have promised to reduce our emissions by 91% over the next five years. We are also ready to pledge open access to our pristine and precious land as a means to participate in significant climate action. While promises are being made to do whatever it takes to ensure that the world’s temperature dial does not move beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius, Namibia is acting. It has moved beyond policy speeches and already delivered a world-class auction, availing more than 5,700 km2 of land with great renewable energy potential, for a 40-year concession. We hope that the world’s leaders at COP26 will exhibit the same courage and resolute leadership. We now call on the developed world to provide the necessary concessionary financial fuel today, to sustainably power the cleaner economic engines of tomorrow.

and
Information and communication technology enabled strategies such as Geospatial data collection and climate predicting software, hold large potential to better aid decarbonization solutions. But more than only providing carbon reduction opportunities for the ICT sector it can also enable other sectors of the economy to reduce their climate impact. Doing so will not only help address and minimize the impacts of climate change, but it will also support economic growth, and promote investments and create green jobs that will help avoid irreversible damage to our economies, societies, and planet. Companies such as Google show how to practically contribute to the COP26 goals by providing consumers with the information to make informed decisions, for example consumers searching for flights on google where shown the carbon footprint of alternative travel options. Data collection is another vital area in the fight against climate change as consistent collection promotes accountability by having a reporting system that holds countries, companies and entities accountable. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) is another area in which Google has dedicated themselves to climate change. Using AI in their data centres Google reduced its energy output by around 30%. Using AI in this fashion is a model that can be carried across to different companies, as the private sector is a critical element in driving change. However, no sector or company challenges and real change democratic system that values the and transparency on the part of all

Technology on Overdrive
W
e can all relate now to the impact of Covid 19 on “face to face” activities across society. Enter the realm of telecommunications and how it has helped those in society with the appropriate technology overcome the required issues such as “social distancing” and working remotely. However, the same event showed that there is an urgent need for telecoms infrastructure to be upgraded and expanded. Namibia via one of its telecommunications providers has 2.6 million active subscribers (91% market share) as per their 2021 Company Profile and has 4.5G networks in major towns and the Capital city Windhoek. It is still migrating customers and their equipment that is 2G and 3G to 4.5G. The provider has also acknowledged that only 36% of its current base stations (2020 Annual Report) have 4G or greater technology which means that as per their estimates, some NAD 350 million to convert and expand site coverage. 6G or sixth generation wireless networks are now mooted to be on the way and overtake the current 5G and 4G networks that are still to be fully rolled as we go to print. 6G is the successor to 5G cellular technology and this creates a number of challenges for society even though the providers will state the benefits out way any negatives that could be identified. Some of its benefits listed for a smart society are self-driving cars, artificial intelligence interactions, security and health monitoring, remote and robotic surgery, emergency / disaster response and of course real-time video conferencing.
Time to reflect exists as 5G is only available in some countries as it is in its early development stages. Further, 6G networks have not yet been introduced, but most companies worldwide have shown interest in deploying the broadband cellular network in their commercial plans. While many studies are already looking into implementing the network in the future with a target date of 2030, reports claim the network will speed up many development processes saving a substantial amount of time compared to previous networks. Forbes (via a Ron Nersesian piece – August 2021) points out that a number of breakthroughs are required before 6G can be a reality. Least of which is a clear set of policies, agreed global industry standards, meaningful cybersecurity, training of the next generation of engineers and prepare the public sector to use this resource for enhanced service delivery.
Is Africa ready for 6G or can it afford not to be?

Youth In Action
Interview with Ms. Monique Jarrett and Albertina Shikongo Interviewed by Ms. Kina Indongo (Communications Contributor - RDJ Consulting)
T
his month we had the exciting opportunity to speak to Monique Jarrett and Albertina Shikongo, two young Environmental activists who have participated in The Gobabeb Research Training Centre’s Climate Action for Millennials Program. We caught up with them to hear more about their experience.
Personal Journey's
Monique Jarrett is a graduate from the University of Namibia with a Degree in Environmental Biology. Who through her studies has obtained an in - depth theoretical understanding of ecology, conservation, biodiversity, natural resource management while touching on topics such as climate change, restoration, and rehabilitation and much more. She is currently employed as a graduate environmental practitioner at an environmental compliance consultancy. Albertina Shikongo is also a graduate from the University of Namibia Ogongo Campus with a degree in Integrated Environmental Science. She is an environmentalist having participated in several Internships at institutions like Gobabeb Namib Desert Research Institute and the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism under the Directorate of Wildlife and National Parks.
The Gobabeb Research Training Centre’s Climate Action for Millennials Program
It is an intense two-week program coordinated and facilitated by Gobabeb, funded by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Namibia. The program selected between 13 participants from each region in Namibia. In which they then attend in-depth lectures from various specialists in the climate change sector. This cohort was focused on water and food security, so we received lecturers from various experts from the water, agriculture and forestry sectors from various institutions such as NUST, NAMWATER, MAWLR, EIF, SASSCAL and many more. After the training, the graduates must then go back to their hometowns to transfer the www.rdjconsulting.co.za
knowledge on climate change to high school students or members of their communities, using outreach materials that they produced themselves. The aim is to spread the message on climate change and how they can adapt to it. Everything that was learned over the first week and a half was then used to create posters which were to be used as outreach material to go to schools of the graduates choice and educate high school learners about climate change, the importance there of and ways in which they could mitigate and adapt to climate change and make a difference in their schools and communities.

Kindly tell us which climate challenges we are facing and how you’ve learned to tackle them?
Please elaborate on any challenges you have faced in your pursuit of climate activism.
“Due to human industrial growth since the industrial revolution, there has been a heavy reliance on fossil fuels such as coal and oil to fuel our economies. This has led to an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere leading to global warming. Which has led to and will lead to an increase in average global temperatures and increase in the frequency and intensity of floods, droughts, and other natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires, melting ice caps rising sea levels, coral bleaching, mass extinctions and much more.” Monique Jarrett
“One of the greatest challenges I have faced personally is finding a committed set of passionate people who are willing to keep the momentum up needed to get a project or group off the ground. However, I am still in the infancy of my activism journey and this program really equipped me with the skills need to really branch out. Equipping us with the skills on how to approach people and organizations, where we can go to find funding in the form of grants, and from which accredited financial institutions such as the environmental investment fund.” Monique Jarrett
“In Namibia, the biggest challenges we are facing in the face of climate change are droughts and floods as well as wildfires. In terms of droughts and floods, people should learn the ways in which to mitigate and adapt to these situations. This can be done by using drought or flood resistant crop varieties and animal breeds to be able to live better with the effects of climate change, this is especially essential for. This is especially essential for farmers who are dependent on the land for their livelihoods.” Albertina Shikongo
Kindly name any big takeaway from the experience? “My take away from the programme is that in order for us as the world and Namibia to tackle the climate change problem, we need to all work together for a common cause. We all need to do our individual bit and together it will make a big difference. We all need to cut our emissions and reduce our carbon footprint. In this way we stand a chance in reducing climate change.” Albertina Shikongo
www.rdjconsulting.co.za
“My biggest take away from the program was how real climate change is and how it is currently affecting us and how much worse the impacts will get if we don’t take drastic change on an individual, corporate, industrial, and governmental-policy level to make impactful changes. I also realized how little we actually know about the extent to which we are damaging our environment and how close we are to reaching and surpassing so many ecological tipping points. However, I believe that there is still hope and that we can still make a change if more people are informed and educated on climate change and the differences we can make as a collective society.” Monique Jarrett
Conclusion In conclusion other youths are advised to remain informed about climate change and their own environments, and encouraged to become active members of their communities by joining groups and societies involved in environmental activism. Finally, they are reminded that activism does not have to be extravagant to be important and impactful. Changing minds can be as easy speaking to peer and family members.

C OP2 6 & ITS GO ALS
What do we need to achieve at COP26? 1. Secure global net zero by mid-century and keep 1.5 degrees within reach Countries are being asked to come forward with ambitious 2030 emissions reductions targets that align with reaching net zero by the middle of the century. To deliver on these stretching targets, countries will need to: accelerate the phase-out of coal curtail deforestation speed up the switch to electric vehicles encourage investment in renewables. 2. Adapt to protect communities and natural habitats The climate is already changing and it will continue to change even as we reduce emissions, with devastating effects. At COP26 we need to work together to enable and encourage countries affected by climate change to: protect and restore ecosystems build defences, warning systems and resilient infrastructure and agriculture to avoid loss of homes, livelihoods and even lives
3. Mobilise finance To deliver on our first two goals, developed countries must make good on their promise to mobilise at least $100bn in climate finance per year by 2020. International financial institutions must play their part and we need work towards unleashing the trillions in private and public sector finance required to secure global net zero. 4. Work together to deliver We can only rise to the challenges of the climate crisis by working together. At COP26 we must: finalise the Paris Rulebook (the detailed rules that make the Paris Agreement operational) accelerate action to tackle the climate crisis through collaboration between governments, businesses and civil society.

MITIGATION GOAL
Secure global net zero and keep 1.5 degrees Nationally Determined Contributions As part of the Paris Agreement, every country agreed to within reach. The world is currently not on track to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. The targets announced in Paris would result in warming well above 3 degrees by 2100 compared to pre-industrial levels.
communicate or update their emissions reduction targets – their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) – every five years to reflect their highest possible ambition and a progression over time.
If we continue as we are, temperatures will carry on rising, bringing even more catastrophic flooding, bush fires, extreme weather and destruction of species.
These targets set out how far countries plan to reduce emissions across their entire economy and/or in specific sectors.
More needs to be done
We have made progress in recent months to bend the temperature curve closer to 2 degrees; but the science shows that much more must be done to keep 1.5 degrees in reach. The world needs to halve emissions over the next decade and reach net zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century if we are to limit global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees.
2020 marked the end of the first of these five-year cycles. This means that countries are expected to update their 2030 targets before we meet in Glasgow. It is especially important that developed countries and the largest emitters take the lead. While targets are important, they must translate into action, and fast. To do this, the UK COP Presidency is working with countries and partners to: Accelerate the transition from coal to clean power Protect and restore nature for the benefit of people and climate Accelerate the transition to zero emission vehicles

ADAPTATION GOAL
Urgently adapt to protect communities and natural habitats.
People across the world are already living with devastating extreme weather heightened by the changing climate. Even as we work tirelessly to reduce emissions, further change is inevitable. In responding to the key priorities of parties and civil society organisations, we are driving progress to close the adaptation gap and respond to climate impacts. Our Glasgow Adaptation Imperative, sets out action to date and progress that is required on the pathway to COP27 to build a climate resilient future for all.
Supporting those most vulnerable to climate change
We know that the most vulnerable are at the greatest risk from climate change, and that they have done the least to cause it. Action to address this and build resilience is needed now, before more people lose their lives or livelihoods. The international community must unite and support people who are most vulnerable to the impacts of the changing climate.
1. Plans and more finance need to be put in place to improve early warning systems, flood defences, and build resilient infrastructure and agriculture to avoid further loss of life, livelihoods and natural habitats. 2. Protecting and restoring habitats is a powerful way to boost resilience to the impacts of the changing climate. They help to build natural storm and flood defences, whilst flourishing ecosystems contribute to sustainable farming and support billions of lives worldwide. 3. All countries should produce an ‘Adaptation Communication’, which is a summary of what they are doing and planning to do to adapt to the impacts of the changing climate, challenges they face and where they need help. These plans will help us learn together and share best practice between countries. The UK has co-developed the Adaptation Action Coalition, in partnership with Egypt, Bangladesh, Malawi, the Netherlands, Saint Lucia and the United Nations Development Programme. The coalition is bringing countries together to find solutions to some of the most challenging impacts of climate change, and we are inviting all countries to join us.

FINANCE GOAL
Mobilise finance
To achieve our climate goals, every company, every financial firm, every bank, insurer and investor will need to change. Countries need to manage the increasing impacts of climate change on their citizens’ lives and they need the funding to do it. The scale and speed of the changes we need to make will require all forms of finance: 1. Public finance for the development of infrastructure we need to transition to a greener and more climateresilient economy. 2. Private finance to fund technology and innovation, and to help turn the billions of public money into trillions of total climate investment.
Support for developing countries
Developing countries in particular need support. Developed countries must deliver on their promise to mobilise $100 billion every year in climate finance to support developing countries. This must include building new markets for adaptation and mitigation and improving the quantity, quality and access to finance to support communities around the world to take action on the changing climate. The OECD estimates that $79.6 billion of climate finance was mobilised in 2019. The UK is doubling our International Climate Finance commitment to help developing nations with £11.6 billion over the next five years up to 2025/2026. We want as many countries as possible to follow our lead and increase their commitments through to 2025. Ahead of COP26, COP26 President-Designate Alok Sharma asked Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Jochen Flasbarth, Germany´s State Secretary at the Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, to work together to produce a Delivery Plan on the $100 billion commitment, to demonstrate how and when developed countries will deliver on their promise. This was published on 25 October 2021, alongside a technical report from the OECD. The Presidency has also published a list of developed country commitments. Climate Finance Delivery Plan: Meeting the US$100 Billion Goal.

Unleashing the trillions in private finance
Ahead of COP26, we must work to unleash the trillions in private finance that are needed to power us towards net zero by the middle of the century. To do this, every financial decision needs to take climate into account: 1. This includes all private investment decisions, but also all spending decisions that countries and international financial institutions are making as they roll out stimulus packages to rebuild economies from the pandemic. 2. Companies need to be transparent about the risks and opportunities that climate change, and the shift to a net zero economy pose to their business. 3. Central banks and regulators need to make sure that our financial systems can withstand the impacts of climate change and support the transition to net zero. 4. Banks, insurers, investors and other financial firms need to commit to ensuring their investments and lending is aligned with net zero.

Taskforce on Access to Climate Finance
At the Climate and Development Ministerial, convened by the UK COP26 Presidency on 31 March 2021, participants recognised the urgent need to streamline access to climate finance, with greater individual and collective action required both before and following COP26. The Taskforce on Access to Climate Finance was announced in response to calls for coherent and effective support for developing countries’ efforts to decarbonise their economies, adapt to climate change and establish green growth pathways. As the initial co-chairs, the UK and Fiji have committed to working with partners to launch the Taskforce, including Bhutan, Belize, Malawi, Rwanda, Senegal, Germany, Sweden, USA, the GCF and the World Bank as members of the Steering Committee.

COLLABORATION GOAL
Work together to deliver
Reaching agreement in the negotiations is our formal responsibility as the Presidency of COP26. Doing so will help deliver on our other three goals and show everyone that the world is moving to a resilient, net zero economy.
Finalise the ‘Paris Rulebook’
A focus for the negotiations is finalising the rules needed to implement the Paris Agreement, called the ‘Paris Rulebook’. We must: 1. Find a solution on carbon markets, by creating a robust system of carbon credits that supports the move to net zero. 2. Resolve the issues of transparency, by putting in place a universal system that encourages all countries to keep to their commitments. 3. Broker an agreement that drives ambition from governments over the coming years to keep 1.5 degrees alive. The UN negotiations are consensus-based, and reaching agreement will depend on leaving no issue behind and making sure everyone’s voice is heard. Which is why we are working hard to remove barriers that prevent everyone from participating in COP26 and championing the voices of communities vulnerable to
climate change, including indigenous peoples and communities grappling with the transition from high carbon activities.
Turn ambition into action
However, finalising the Paris Rulebook on its own will not deliver net zero. This decade is decisive and we need to turn ambition into action. Governments, business and civil society (sometimes called ‘non-state actors’) need to work together to transform the ways we power our homes and businesses, grow our food, develop infrastructure and move ourselves and goods around. This is why the UK COP26 Presidency is working with countries and partners including the UN High Level Champions on Climate Action to: Accelerate the transition from coal to clean power Protect and restore nature for the benefit of people and climate Accelerate the transition to zero emission vehicles Raise climate ambition through science and innovation By committing to work together in this way we are laying the foundations for faster progress in the decade to come.
