6:06 pm
with more ambitious pledges. that is still in the text. on finance there has been strengthening of the language overnight in some areas. a dialogue every two years on adaptation finance in 2022, 2a and 26. country should consider doubling adaptation finance in recognition of others who have already doubled it. and going forward, there will be greater balance between mitigation and adaptation finance. finally, parties will begin working towards a post—2025 finance goal to help developing nations with the aim of agreeing the amount needed in 202a. but the most substantial changes relate to this section, loss and damage, the compensation that vulnerable and poor countries are demanding for the destruction already caused by climate change. they will be a dialogue going forward to discuss the arrangements for funding and activities to avert, minimise and address lots of damage. it is the first
6:07 pm
time that has appeared in the text and no amount has been discussed and you will have heard the dissatisfaction from some of the parties in the last few hours. i am joined by the carbon tracker initiative, what do you make of where we are at this hour? idate do you make of where we are at this hour?— this hour? we are following the olitics this hour? we are following the politics and _ this hour? we are following the politics and negotiations, - this hour? we are following the politics and negotiations, but . politics and negotiations, but another group taking these signals very carefully is the business and finance community. there is like a parallel cop with investment managers and investment banks and the signal is clear, if you are a shareholder in the fossil fuel economy, you will be looking gloomy at the way this is going. talking about phasing out coal and ending fossil fuel subsidies. that will be the death knell for the fossil fuel economy. we are not at the beginning of the n yet, we are at the end of the beginning and starting a whole new process and investors probably, if they

6:09 pm
in the middle of a huge clean energy transition that will completely change the way the economy is run over the next ten or 15 years.— ten or 15 years. one of our former guests _ ten or 15 years. one of our former guests in _ ten or 15 years. one of our former guests in the - ten or 15 years. one of our former guests in the last l ten or 15 years. one of our . former guests in the last hour who follows the climate roadshow said the place it goes next is to national capitals and they make an assessment of what has been done here and they start talking about their own contributions again because they will have to come up with something in 2022. that is still in a text, the accelerator presence. if you took it in the uk context, there is a conversation going on at the moment about an oil field off the shetland isles. that will be subject to a climate change assessment. do the figures of the language in these texts, does that dramatically affect how that assessment will run? i dramatically affect how that assessment will run? i think it does. it assessment will run? i think it does- it is _ assessment will run? i think it does. it is not _ assessment will run? i think it does. it is not an _ assessment will run? i think it does. it is not an economic. does. it is not an economic project. these new constraints
6:10 pm
and things will fold by the wayside. one of the most exciting things to me about this cop, is the announcement by 12 countries to lead the beyond oil and gas alliance. wales is in scotland is on the sidelines and we expect them to come in. that announcement wasn't central to the cop but it shows how governments want to sit down and act together with the common direction of ending the fossilfuel with the common direction of ending the fossil fuel age. i was at a reception yesterday and somebody reminded me, did we take a wrong term in 1992 when we should have focused on it, the climate change problem as fossil fuels and we should have focused then on constraining and giving up fossilfuel rights. maybe constraining and giving up fossil fuel rights. maybe 30 years on and we are having that conversation. yesterday, the announcement that in it and
6:11 pm
that was very very significant indeed. you have private sector actors, there is now a coalition of $39 trillion of asset managers who have agreed to sell coal, oil and from their pension funds, investments and endowments and you have the glasgow finance allowance, which is committed to backstop these commitments and fund the clean energy revolution. let's look at what the governments are doing, but you have to look at what the private sector is doing and i would argue the private sector business and finance is moving faster than some of the government commitments. others have said this _ government commitments. others have said this process _ government commitments. others have said this process is _ have said this process is catalysing the change in the real world economy. i want to focus on india and their objections to the coal section in the text. the environment and climate minister took aim at the deal and said he disagreed with the language on a particular section because it lacks balance. it

6:14 pm
when the prime minister was here at the beginning of the cop summit, they enhance their 2030 target to i think, of the top of my head, 44% of renewables by 2030, which many people said that made their 2060 pledge immaterial because they already half way down the road. ., ., , ., they already half way down the road. ., .,, ., ., , road. the adoption of these clean technologies - road. the adoption of these clean technologies it's - clean technologies it's happening around the global south as well as the global north. electrification of whether it is motorbikes, bicycles or those three reel is a lot of people use to take stuff around, you can electrify that. we will have to find out what the reasoning is in coming days. maybe it is politicking because we have china playing here and the us being very involved. here and the us being very involved-— involved. the bartering is ongoing- _ involved. the bartering is ongoing. there _ involved. the bartering is ongoing. there is - involved. the bartering is ongoing. there is a - involved. the bartering is. ongoing. there is a section involved. the bartering is- ongoing. there is a section of the text i want to get into. that is the carbon market and carbon pricing which relates to

the paris climate agreement. let's go to washington, dc and speak to the director of the centre on regulation of markets at the brookings institute. good to have your expertise. i do feel it is one area of the text we have not really touched on over the course of the last two days. there has been a lot of work into this and where do you think we are at at this moment?— you think we are at at this moment? ., ,, , ., ., ., moment? thank you for having me. i moment? thank you for having me- i agree — moment? thank you for having me. i agree with _ moment? thank you for having me. i agree with you, - moment? thank you for having me. i agree with you, this - moment? thank you for having me. i agree with you, this is i me. i agree with you, this is an important part of the text. it an important part of the text. it will— an important part of the text. it will depend on the mechanisms they put in place for the — mechanisms they put in place for the international carbon market. _ for the international carbon market, how effective national emissions reductions would be. one really— emissions reductions would be. one really important thing to keep— one really important thing to keep in— one really important thing to keep in mind, we have had some of those — keep in mind, we have had some of those carbon markets in the past, — of those carbon markets in the past, during the kyoto protocol, and when we looked at offset _ protocol, and when we looked at offset credits generated around the world did not work very well — the world did not work very well you _ the world did not work very well. you have to be careful when — well. you have to be careful when you _ well. you have to be careful when you have these carbon markets _ when you have these carbon markets that you have functioning markets that are efficient, functioning market

6:17 pm
moment. there are various carbon markets around the world and companies pay into those carbon markets, can you explain it simply for me?— it simply for me? let's take the european _ it simply for me? let's take the european trade - it simply for me? let's take - the european trade programme. an emissions trading programme which means that let's say you have two factories and the regulators come in and say, you are only allowed to emit £100 of c02 are only allowed to emit £100 of co2 in the coming year. what the regulator does, they generate hundreds of emissions permits and emissions allowances and distributors them. now the firms have to look at their own emissions and the first factory received a full day emission certificate but they have emissions of 60 tonnes of co2. now they have to decide what i have to do to get down to four days. i can try to reduce emissions i can try to buy permits on the market. the eu programme has been in place since 2005 and it has been
6:18 pm
quite successful, despite some issues at the beginning, but there is healthy trading, companies are trying to trade these permits. the carbon crisis, they trade at about $65 currently. the basic principle, you put an emissions limit in place for a group of factories or a group of firms and then you give them emissions permits and they have to find a way to reduce emissions as a group to get to that goal.— get to that goal. that is a aood get to that goal. that is a good declination - get to that goal. that is a good declination of- get to that goal. that is a good declination of how l get to that goal. that is a j good declination of how it works and it works in the same way in every part of the world it is critical and that is what they have been haggling over and over the last few days. one of the thing somebody said to me is what the developing nations want is attached they can skim off towards adaptation. i think we have
6:19 pm
some agreement on that, do you think it is significant? i think it is significant? i think it is significant? i think so, it is really important. the fact that adaptation is finally a bit more _ adaptation is finally a bit more at _ adaptation is finally a bit more at the centre is critical. we have _ more at the centre is critical. we have focused on the past too much _ we have focused on the past too much on — we have focused on the past too much on mitigation. if we think about— much on mitigation. if we think about it. — much on mitigation. if we think about it, climate change is already— about it, climate change is already here, even if we stop greenhouse gases tomorrow, a lot of— greenhouse gases tomorrow, a lot of the — greenhouse gases tomorrow, a lot of the developing countries need _ lot of the developing countries need to— lot of the developing countries need to adapt. even developed countries — need to adapt. even developed countries like the united states— countries like the united states and europe, started with the heatwave recently will have mounting losses from climate change — mounting losses from climate change. thinking about adaptation and helping poorer countries adapt, it is very important in such a fee and carbon— important in such a fee and carbon trades i think would be very— carbon trades i think would be very important first steps to provide _ very important first steps to provide these funds, while it will help— provide these funds, while it will help poor countries. finally, _ will help poor countries. finally, do you think we can get to a place now where we have an internationally agreed system that works that can

provide a source of funding for those countries that already affected by climate change? unfortunately, this is a weakness of the current agreement. it weakness of the current agreement.— weakness of the current aureement. . , , ., agreement. it has been watered down and there _ agreement. it has been watered down and there isn't _ agreement. it has been watered down and there isn't a _ agreement. it has been watered down and there isn't a from - down and there isn't a from developing countries. there has been _ developing countries. there has been the — developing countries. there has been the commitment of 100 been the commitment of100 billion— been the commitment of 100 billion per year but there is no significant mechanism that can send _ no significant mechanism that can send the money to developing countries and that is disappointing. as a lot of observers have pointed out, the historic— observers have pointed out, the historic responsibility for climate _ historic responsibility for climate change lies with most developed countries and the us has played an important role but it — has played an important role but it would be critical to build _ but it would be critical to build a _ but it would be critical to build a mechanism into this. i am hopeful that maybe next year when _ am hopeful that maybe next year when the — am hopeful that maybe next year when the next cop comes around the negotiations continue, this dialogue — the negotiations continue, this dialogue that is now in the language in the agreement can lead to— language in the agreement can lead to something more concrete, but without this it

6:22 pm
levels of government with the biggest users of coal. if it was included in the text, that would be miraculous. if it was included as a side agreement like this over the china and the us, that is also good. the paris climate agreement doesn't mention coal or gas in it and if we can do something that addresses the production and use of coal, massively significant.— use of coal, massively siunificant. , ., significant. somebody said to me earlier — significant. somebody said to me earlier in _ significant. somebody said to me earlier in the _ significant. somebody said to me earlier in the week- significant. somebody said to me earlier in the week that l significant. somebody said to i me earlier in the week that the deal they had done for south africa, they have done a similar deal where they put in billions of dollars to get them to come out of coal power stations, they asked why they are not doing something for india? maybe that has been circulating in the room. it is circulating in the room. it is possible _ circulating in the room. it is possible that _ circulating in the room. it is possible that is _ circulating in the room. it is possible that is going - circulating in the room. ft 3 possible that is going on. to deal with climate crisis we have to stop burning coal almost immediately and start putting in place renewables that go behind it. let's wish

them the best fortune in this agreement. if they can get it done and reuters is correct, it cannot be understated, the importance of this. this importance of this. as significant _ importance of this. as significant as - importance of this. as significant as it - importance of this. as significant as it in terms of the current state of play in india? it the current state of play in india? , , . india? it is very coal -dependent - india? it is very coal. -dependent economy, india? it is very coal- -dependent economy, as is —dependent economy, as is china. we have seen this on chinese coal, they may be building more of it but they are not using it more. it is the utilisation rate, how often do they turn on the coal? the renewables are coming in and displacing and kicking out the coal and so the economics of renewables are just looking so good right now. you can actually make an announcement to phase out coal, so long as you commit the capital at the same time to replace it with bob mackie could be hydrogen technology, it will almost certainly be wind and solar and battery storage to get there first. , ., battery storage to get there first. ,., . ~' ., , first. go back to the text they are negotiating, _

6:25 pm
renewables. these are the calculations people are doing right now. outside of the cop, you would have seen this from civil society, the campaigners are going afterfossil civil society, the campaigners are going after fossil fuel use. let's be clear, there is a group called the fossil fuel liberation treaty, supported by 400 global self campaign groups are saying what the cop should be is a treaty to give up fossil fuels. be is a treaty to give up fossilfuels. if be is a treaty to give up fossil fuels. if what we are hearing from writers is correct, we are almost getting there, almost an international agreement to close down coal and oil and gas as well. thank ou ve and oil and gas as well. thank you very much _ and oil and gas as well. thank you very much for _ and oil and gas as well. thank you very much for your- and oil and gas as well. thank i you very much for your company, significant news all round. indian conversation with the eu, china and the united states about the use of coal in the country. let me show you briefly, pictures from the hole. we are in recess at the moment. i havejust seen hole. we are in recess at the moment. i have just seen the union flag going into the room. flags being moved around and they are preparing for a
6:26 pm
closing ceremony here in glasgow. they are still talking about the text but we are expecting a formal process to begin very shortly. that evening, we had quite a bit of sunshine around the central areas. it is cloudy and east on the west, mild as well and something similar for many of us tomorrow. temperatures have been about two to three degrees above average and that trend will continue tomorrow into the start of the new week as well. we are pulling in atlantic winds. we have still got the low pressure that brought the wind and rain yesterday looking just at the east so we have been pulling in a lot of cloud and showers and these weather fronts are working into the high pressure so they are weakening all the time. a few showers here, patchy rain working across the receiver clear skies in central areas and it is here where we will see the lowest temperatures overnight, 304. a
6:27 pm
little bit on the chilly side compared with last night but there will be misty low clouds and low level fog. the fog is not exclusively on the coasts and hills as it has been recently. that will take its time to clear at lower levels. once it lifts and breaks, sunshine potentially for eastern scotland. quite a bit of cloud coming in of the north sea for eastern areas, the art shower in this dominant weather front taking over late in the day. it does start heavy, the rain on this cold front, but as it comes into this high pressure, as it sinks southwards through sunday night and into monday, it will be weakening all the time so let's follow the progress of that. heavy rain through the early hours of monday morning the cloud and relatively mild and potentially quite foggy for monday morning as well. something to watch for in the morning rush. brighterskies well. something to watch for in the
6:28 pm
