PARTING SHOT
“This COP cannot save the world, and there will be a COP27.”
That’s what our reporter Orla Dwyer was told by a long-time COP attendee at the hotly-anticipated climate conference in Glasgow.
Now that world leaders have been and gone, the real work is just starting, she writes in The Journal‘s daily newsletter of the event (sign up here).
Conor O’Neill, Christian Aid Ireland’s policy and advocacy advisor, told Orla this afternoon that the level of commitment to the $100 billion fund for developing countries will be an “acid test for the sincerity” of richer countries.
Many won’t hold their breath on that. You can follow Orla’s tweets here, or sign up for that newsletter we mentioned…
