Newsletter: The COP 26 Update

Newsletter November 2021 - key points from COP 26

See, I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to manage a newsletter on the first of the month for too long (although I was hoping for more that two months!).

It is similar to going eco I suppose: thought and effort is always there but sometimes something slips, which is OK but always get back on to it!

A lot has happened for me and the World since I last contacted you.

I had to put my beloved soulmate Buster down a couple of weeks ago, which was hard, but best for him. We had had nearly 13 years together so lots of fond memories. I will get an older rescue dog when the right one finds me….

COP26

It is great that over one hundred countries realise that this is a ‘now or never’ situation. Shame that Russia and China don’t think so… Mind you, Biden has had a go at them too.

Key points from what I can gather are;

  • Stopping Rain Forest destruction
  • UK firms are having to show how they will become net zero
  • Stopping investments in companies which invest in fossil fuels, they will have to invest in green energy
  • Amazon owner, Jeff Bezos, will invest £1.5bn to restore landscapes and transform food systems (?)
  • Faster transition to electric cars

To name but a few. I honestly think people are realising there is no other option. As I always say to people, you can make a difference, take responsibility and make you own environment as good as you can. Changing something is better than nothing!

(And, in case you’re wondering what COP stands for in this context: for nearly thirty years, the United Nations Climate Change Conference has brought together almost every country on earth for global climate summits – called COPs – which stands for ‘Conference of the Parties’).
