not once to rest that we leave class go without an outcome. therefore, we did not oppose this additional last minute change weakening the outcome of glasgow. but they are disappointed both about the process and about this last minute change. this will not bring us closer to 1.5, but make it more difficult to reach it. thank you. mm hm. switzerland, poor, your intervention. the european union wishes take the floor. i give the floor

european union. thank you mister president. it is no secret to this gathering that the european union would have wanted to go even further than the initial text in the govern cover text on cole. this is a consequence of our own painful experience with coal. we all know that european wealth was built on call and if we don't get rid of coal, european death will also be built uncle. we know full well that coal has no future . and this is what we're working on with our own plans to put an end to call in europe in the foreseeable future. having said that, and then of course it will be no surprise to you that m. what was just read out to

us is a further disappoint. not because we want to be right. but because we know that the longer you take to get rid of coal, the more burden you put an unnatural environments. but also the more burden you put on your economy because coal is simply not a smart economic proposition either. that's why we want to speed up the exit out of coal. now having said all that, if i look at the conclusions we are going to be drawing to day, we are going to work bloody hard on getting rid out of of coal. and i believe this conclusion will help us work in that direction. european union will be strongly committed to that, not just within the european union, but also with our partners world wide. and for us,

the model we have found together with the united kingdom, the united states, germany and france on south africa, should be the templates of how we help other co producing countries to rid themselves of this fossil. and that is a mr. president, what we will want to do in the years to come. so, having now expressed at my disappointment, i want to reiterate what i said to my earlier intervention. this should not stop us from deciding to day on what, even before you've read everything, i have to say is a historic historic decision under your leadership. and you can be very proud of that was supposed i think the european union for the extension i

now give the floor to lichtenstein that should sign you have to fill out. thank you mister president. and also for the great effort you made on a text before your line of the statement made by switzerland on behalf of the list . the sun is deeply disappointed that this carp 26 was not held as a fully inclusive and transparent process. small countries were not equally represented in the bilateral consultation to cobb presidency. and we believe weakening the language regarding the face of fossil fuels. especially coal is nor ambitious, nor in line with reaching the 1.5 degrees temperature goal. for the greater good. we must follow this bit appeal. thank you and back to you, mr. president. hey, thank you lichtenstein or your intervention. i'm argue the floor to mexico,

mexico. you have the floor. mexico fully aligns with the segment made by switzerland on behalf of the ag. we believe we have been sideline it in a non transparent and non inclusive process at the stuff take. we already compromised to what we perceived was an agreement by parties, even if we were unhappy with the text. but now we learn that there are even further change changes that we were not being made aware. we all have remaining concerns that were told what could not re open the text. mexico for example, believes the language on human rights should have been strengthened and are very, very disappointed that such demands were not heard while others can still ask to water down or promises. thank you.

when can thank you too much for that intervention. i know cool. marshall islands take small machines are helpful. thank you president. on behalf of the marshall islands, i wish to read into the record our profound disappointment with the change in the language on coal from phase out to phase down. i asked that this be reflected in the report of this meeting. this commitment on hole had been a bright spot in this package. it was one of the things we were hoping to carry out of here and back home with pride. and it hurts deeply to see that bright spot dim. we accept this change with the greatest reluctance we do so only, and i really wanna stress only because there are critical elements of this package

that people in my country need as a lifeline for their future. thank you. thank you, monsoons your intervention. i will now take an impression from fiji, fiji, you have the floor. and thank you mr. president. a few days ago in fact, about 4 days ago. and we talked about some language on lawson damage. we were told that we are introducing something at the last minute is rather ironic that just about 2 hours ago. i'm in discuss the text. and now there's an amendment being made to that. and that i would call last minute without any due process going through due process being followed. i think the that the point of the meta is that 1.5

degree is all has been a red line for us in particular, low lying countries, island states. what we like to express, of course, i was not just our astonishment, but our immense disappointment in the manner in which this has been introduced. and secondly, led. we seem to be dealing with his various causes in that disjointed fashion. there's not confluence between the earlier closes prior to this that talks about the 1.5 degree. and indeed the impact on our ability to reach 1.5 degree by having a now what we call a phase down, which in fact has no demonstrable measurements, no methodology as to what, how we will measure this phase down. and i think that is critically important and we need to remember that. and i hope all the other countries that have the capacity and the ability to be able to do so will in fact do so. because small island states like ours, do not have the capacity may reliant on all the other good countries that believe

in phasing out coal will do that for us. thank you. thank you t g for your intervention. and i will take an infection from antigua and buddha. thank you mister president. the $39.00 leaders of the alliance of small island states in september, signed a declaration to urge major emitters, particularly the g 20 to phase out all fossil fuel subsidies. by 2023. we were disappointed to find the addition of the inefficiency from the g 20 line grades, but can accept that this is as far as we can go to day. the challenges with securing today to start commitment for the you and after triple c historic. to phase out inefficient fossil fuels, despite knowing that this is factually required to stay on

a 1.5 degree global pathway, deeply concerns a with the challenges of that and into transition are real. and we recognize that the political risks that come with the climate change response and the monopolistic nature of the fossil fuel industry in today's world are real. we need to double down on retraining work forces, so that this is an easy decision to make going forward. we appreciate at the outcome of today and we can accept the changes, although we're, i'm reiterate the challenges around the process. thank you. thank you. i'm to europe abuto for your intervention. i may, i just say to all of delegates i, i apologize for the way this process has unfolded. i'm and i'm deeply sorry. i also understand the,

the deep disappointment. but i think as you have noted, it's also vital that we protect this package a and we we, we need to proceed. thank you very much. so given watts interventions, we've had, i propose that the revised proposal is adopted as orally amended

a revised version. a written version will be issued shortly. hearing no objections, it is so decided. hm. so and i invite the court to consider agenda item 5, reporting from parties not included in an x one to the convention. this item was considered by the s b i and i want to thank the chair of the s p i and policies for their hard work and for forwarding to the comp, the progress of their work on the revision of the terms of reference of the consultation groups our group of experts falling, which i undertook further consultations. i therefore invite the camp to adopt the

draft decision entitled revise terms of reference of the consultative group of experts contained in document f triple c stroke, c, p, stroke, 2021 stroke l 12. hearing no objections, it is so decided delegates, please stay in your seats as we will be now convening the cma immediately. so the 12 meeting of the cop is suspended and i now declare open the 12th meeting of cma 3 the order in which the agenda items will be taken up is posted on the screen. i now invite the cma to adopt the decision entitled glasgow climate packed contained in document f triple c

stroke p, a stroke cma, stroke 2021 stroke l 16. and at this point, i recall the oral amendment made the decision that was just adopted on the comp document l 13. and i proposed that the amendment also be applied to see a made document f triple c stroke p, a stroke cma stroke l 16. and i propose that this decision be adopted as amended, hearing no objections, it is so decided i see a number of bodies would like to go into bean at this point. so i'd now like to give the floor to antigua and bobby judah. oh, thank you mister president aliases requested the cop president firmly acknowledged

that their g 77 and china physician on lawson damage that was tabled this session. the common position was and still is to establish the glasgow lawson damage facility under the financial mechanism. and to lay out a process where workshops, technical meetings, technical papers, submissions from parties and inclusion of other stakeholders as well as inputs to include the work of the wim x. com and it's experts including on action and support the in wants to consultation. really define the facility and make a recommendation to cop $27.00. what we have before us in one cmi, 3 is one standalone dialogue with no clear destination. yoseph expresses our grievance with this text. our group strongly considered requesting the deletion of paragraphs 73 and 74 and one c. m a 3 because of this inadequacy aliases in the interest of reaching a consensus will accept attacks as gavel as it stands. with the clear understanding

that right, so the cop 26 summit in glasgow reaching its conclusion with many countries that are actually pretty furious about the last minute watering down of the text. specifically that we knew that the issue of coal was a, a bone of contention, particularly for developing countries like india. and they're pretty angry about india softening the language to from phasing out which was stronger to phasing down in relation to call. so just getting a sense of perhaps what was happening behind closed doors in the final stages of negotiations and actually our environment. edison clark joins us live now from glasgow and was very interesting. we hearing criticism nick, of the way in which the process unfolded with contra, saying that a text had been agreed upon before it was, it was then later changed or these amendments were made. and real disappointment

that the language was weakened on the phasing out of co right. yes ma'am. there's a real sense of ambush in the air, wasn't there? i mean, not just from the, the small island states, but also from the president, the president himself, alex sha, mom. you saw him before. he finally brought down the gravel on the decision at just going around. the plenary behind me just to speak into the delegations, trying to find a way through the weeds of this whole debate about coal because we thought that it was all done done and dusted that it was going to come through. it would be gobbled 3, but then china, south africa and india put forward amendments that we just heard about suburban toyota of and the indian climate chief se talked about. and wanted to make the amendment of phasing down, as you say, as opposed to phasing out unabated coal. and we then heard from the a small island states like marshal island to express their profound disappointment from phase out to phase down at the commitment about coal in the tax was

a bright spot of the whole things. it's the 1st time that has happened. but then at the last minute, the sense of ambushes, it suddenly watered down, but they want to proceed with the text because that's all they have at this point in time. and alex, i'll me even feeling the emotion as we saw. and as the stress important of keeping this document alive, it is now through after 2 weeks of negotiations. after endless hours of his sleepless nights, we have this final acceptance of the glasgow climate packed. let's speak now to hodge. it sing. who has been watching these developments again, not unusual. these last minute interjections bits on the face of it because it did seem to be all agreed and done and dusted. and then suddenly the last minute, this watering down. yeah. because india found that the insertion of the language on fossil fuels was not fair, because the only talks about call and majority of countries that depend on coal still are developing countries. but as it's countries have moved on to oil and gas,

and that's why you don't find, mention of oil and gas. all 3 fossil fuels are problem. not only call, ah, now, because india, the lines on call is about to tug in terms of electricity generation. so of course india and china has, has even more. so of course they're going to days objection. so, but to do it at the last minute like this, i mean that, that is, it's almost t t, e r. so in terms of process this, dick should have done it much earlier than as many parties said, keeping everybody informed and involved because this is a place where you up to do things by consensus. linda, i'm so process it's, it's not quite bright. but the fact is, i say that coal is in there, a tool is in the final draft. is that that, that is a good thing. that is something that should be celebrated, that should be celebrated. but we wanted the entire elephant to be in the room, which is about fossil fuels. i not only cold, so it's a beginning, but we have to talk about how we a little face out equitably. because millions of walk us not only in developing

countries, but did the develop, was also depend on fossil fuel. how via linked to make sure that the just transition is up is working for both communities and walk of and you find mention of just transition. also in the specs which is, which has happened only off the fatis agreement that we had from the machine into a very disappointed expressive disappointment about this. but said that they would allow it to go through because there are the critical elements within the package that are essential for their survival, for the survival of the items. what kind of things are they talking about there? so there is an agreement on the article 6 which was pending to renewable, could not be finalized. i in 2018 also in 2019 it could not be concluded. so that was the only hanging piece. so that is an agreement on how to monitor and regulate carbon markets. so that is one element. second, that is about finance sold. that is an agreement on doubling club adaptation finance by 25, although doesn't go far enough. it should have been done much earlier,

and then that is a discussion also on lawson damage because people are being impacted and did not thing any support. so there are elements that, but overall, you know, i would say we are walking in inches than we must walk in miles. so it doesn't really go far enough and for people was suffering climate impacts. now. it has not delivered. and that's exactly what antigua and bob would, i just stopped at seeing him in the moment, was gathered down that odd proposal off launching a glasgow lawson damage facility has not been accepted. and we have been fighting flooded with the last few days as developing yet that was another interesting thing wasn't the whole of and damage facility that was proposed. and it wasn't a text but then was taken out and, and a lot of people were very angry about them. we thought that that fight would go on lowly into the night. but why would it then that the g $77.00 plus java decided to accept or because you said it's, it's a direct line for them. and us views,

the whole issue of lawson damage as liability and compensation. and that's why they insert their dis language in bay back in 2015, but dizzy ality is that people are suffering on ground, losing their homes, they're losing the income, and they're being displaced, and they need support now. and this is exactly what glasgow lawson damage facility was supposed to do to help people that he build at homes and he thought their lives . not that money's not that and the process has been pushed back. this is all about keeping 1.5 alive, keeping temperatures, attempt to increase below 1.5 degrees celsius over pre industrial times. has it kept it alive? voluntarily? the u. n. to report that came out just before the cops said that based on the current pledges, we are looking at a warming of $2.00 degrees. so we are really not there. yes, there are some hooks where now countries have to devise the accent climate action bands in the next 12 months. and when, when the vin be global egypt, but we have to do it in a, in

a manner that it is going to be fed. and that's why money is extremely important, and we have not done well providing support to developing countries as well on $100000000.00. again, just before the cops, that's companies would not but these that number. and you know, fed shot of $20000000000.00 and that's the thing because here there was a huge deficit of trust. was that because that $100000000.00 was promised way back in copenhagen in 2009. and then it was for spain further here in 2023 just before this got started. absolutely, and that is extremely important because everything is connected. if money is not provided for developing countries and $100000000.00 is not the full amount that you would need for that transition unique trillions $100000000.00 should be did it of the seed money that can then attract billions of dollars and more importantly, what adaptive sion who cannot depend on market because if you're helping people in or raised blend of their home or build a dike private sector is not then. so you have to have that as public finance,

which means that $100000000.00 has to provide that kind of support. and if that support is not there, people are going to face lawson damage. so it's all connected mitigation adaptation and lawson damage. and that conversation became quite active in the space this time . we had a lot of conversations outside of the allegations. little announcements, big announcements on deforestation, on methane and so forth. deforestation $19000000000.00 to end and reverse deforestation by 2030. but all pledges all promise is, is no guarantees. it's going to happen. how important is it that between now and the next climate conference in egypt, as you say in africa next year, this time next year that those pledges are implemented? those pledges that were announced at the beginning of vogue as a smokescreen because when we came to the inside, which means the real negotiation fixed, you'll find that even $100000000000.00 was not being delivered on the outside. we talk about $130000000.00 and then you're fighting to even get $200000000.00 figure

. similarly, if you talk about emission reduction targets off its countries, we're not really there. and then we are making new pledges on the outside, or some are lea package ones like on deforestation. so what we need to make sure that what time of the announce has to be in a former text so that you can hoard countries to account for what they have announced. you know, if we just do headline grabbing announcements, that's not going to save the planet we have last 30 years and impacts on every bit . do you think this coff has been a success? well, we would not calder success because when we look at it from people's perspective who are facing climate impacts, they now need money to rebuild their homes or be prepared for the next disaster. they're not getting money and that has been pushed back. so no facility on lawson damage and adaptation money. it's going to be doubled only by 2025. that node or

map. just watching alex yama that you see giving says a thumbs up to someone in the audience that small on his face is the 1st time i've seen a smaller face for some time. at a little bit earlier, we saw the pressure tell as he was hoping to policy through, and then suddenly there are all these last minute interventions in water donald attacks. and he got quite emotional, didn't they? at the pressure on the top level of these negotiations, intense is always, you know, getting 200 countries to agree on a common fixed. and each and every word and sentence is never going to be easy because we are talking about diverse economy than divers societies. so it's, it's never easy, but we also see that you get it as a nancy, the kind of a process they adopt. it was not very intrusive. you know, in the, in the corporate context, the access for civil society and milly delegates has been rarely challenging. so yes, when it's always challenging and difficult, but they should have done a better job, at least making sure that the process is right. all delegates,

all countries, all civil society organizations, that indigenous people are able to access the space and, and provide that input. or i'll g appreciate that. thanks very much indeed. join is his own l 0. so that's it's a, the laws go. climate packed is born. hasn't kept 1.5 alive. maybe just about why it's fingerprints learned, but all right, thank you very much sir. nick clark environment and it's a following developments at the summit and we'll be back the next very shortly. as lee conference, there has reached its conclusion, but it is, nick was saying, and as we're hearing that just there, despite the fact that an agreement has been reached, it has been accepted by all the delegates and participants. it is lacking in their whole hearted support. with a number of countries expressing that profound disappointment and frustration that language on up coal and fossil fuels was weak. and, and specifically that was this last minute wrangling i that was led by india,

which relies heavily on coal for its economic development. and that they called for a phasing down instead of a phasing out of co for you. ah and our goal at al jazeera has always been to expand our reach and improve on what we have to offer. to do that, we've kept pace with how people get their news news strengthen by reporting. that's hard hitting when the arab world rose up, you followed a trusted source and we grew with over the years, al jazeera digital has been recognized for getting it right. because online
