BANGKOK: G20 leaders meet this weekend during what is likely the hottest year in human history, but hopes are slim that the divided grouping can agree ambitious action on the crisis.
"The communiques that have come out are woefully inadequate," UN climate change chief Simon Stiell told AFP this week. G20 countries account for 85 per cent of global GDP and a similar amount of global climate warming emissions, making action in the forum crucial to real progress.But per capita coal emissions have risen across the G20 since 2015, research showed this week, despite transition efforts by some members.
"At the minimum, I hope they will include lines from Bali on coal phase down," said Madhura Joshi, a senior associate at climate think E3G, referring to last year's summit, where members committed to"accelerating efforts" on a"phasedown of unabated coal power, in line with national circumstances.
They also want debt relief and restructuring, and the swift implementation of a"loss and damage" fund for climate-vulnerable countries.
