Greta Thunberg slams COP26 as ‘greenwashing’ failure. Thunberg labeled the summit in Glasgow to cut emissions “a two-week long celebration of business as usual and blah, blah, blah” during the Fridays for Future march.
The COP26 summit started with real hope as over 100 countries committed themselves to cutting emissions by at least 30% this decade.
But environmental groups doubted the pledge, suggesting that especially richer countries often fail to live up to their promises.
The UN has estimated that under the proposed climate action plans the Earth would warm by 2.7 degrees Celsius (4.9 degrees Fahrenheit) this century.
