walked for gordon brown, we talked about future generations as if they were other people who had not been born. this isn't about future generations it is about our kids and grandchildren. somebody who has kids in the 20s, this is about the rest of their lives. 2050, they will be my age, a bit less. this is about people we know, people we love and the future that they are going to live in. that has added an urgency. the kids demonstrating last friday and over the weekend, they are future voters, they are talking to the parents, telling the parents that you have got to do something about this. that has affected the cop and it will only affect them further into the future, as those voters become, as those kids become voters and some become politicians. we have left it too late, but that is what this has to be, some kind of a turning point where the politicians in power recognise it is the next generation of macro lives at stake. l it is the next generation of macro lives at stake. i

all the hard work. and ijust want to leave you with a phrase i heard not long ago. we must do the right thing because it's the right thing because it's the right thing to do. thank you, mr president.

floor. thank you, mr president, and thank you for guiding all our efforts. in behalf of the g 77 and china, the comments made by antigua and barbuda... as we've heard by previous interventions, while not the perfect package, this is, we believe, a balanced package. it is not free of gaps. there are areas like loss and damage where we need to, and i believe we can, quickly advance innovative work to inform each of our positions and, therefore, in turn inform our collective position. over the last two weeks, i have heard a great deal of consensus in these rooms. and this afternoon, i hear consensus in this. mr president, i am encouraged by the openness in the text to the ways in which we can meet the scale of the finance required to meet the ambition on mitigation and on adaptation. i believe that, with this text, we have a basis on which to accept this agreement and to go forward. but to go forward beyond process. go forward to strengthen our partnerships and to strengthen those partnerships for the purpose of implementation of the important work that we all have to do. thank you. barbados, thank you very much for that— barbados, thank you very much for that intervention.

sharma, bringing an end - thank you. alok sharma, bringing an end to - thank you. alok sharma, bringing an end to that i bringing an end to that informal process, a stock—taking process over the text. to explain what he was talking about, there are three separate texts being considered here in glasgow. it is sometimes complex. the cmp is the kyoto agreement, legally binding. cma is the paris agreement, they are still trying to finish the rules relating to paris. and then cop, everything separate to paris that has been agreed in glasgow. to set the scene for you, over my shoulder, that's the door into the main plenary room, you can see the journalists waiting for the various leaders who might come out and talk to their teams. that's the business end of the summit, where it's all happening. there is a brief adjournment, as alok sharma said, they will huddle and talk, but the intention is that in perhaps the next hour, they will begin the formal process of adopting what is in these texts. let me take you quickly through the draught agreement which alok sharma hopes will be the last. starting with the paragraphs relating to the phasing out of coal and fossil fuel subsidies. that remains in the text, it has been slightly softened again with accelerating efforts towards... inefficient fossil fuels, accelerating efforts towards... inefficient fossilfuels, while recognising the need for transition, meaning help for workers in the fossil fuel industries. changes that may well be the final compromise on that section of the on future emissions targets, the national determine contributions, there is a request for nations to return to the next cop in 2022 with more ambitious pledges, despite the disagreement we heard from india in the last couple of hours. 0n finance, there has been significant strengthening of the language in some areas. a dialogue every two years on adaptation finance, 2022, 2024, 2026, countries should consider doubling adaptation and finance, as other countries have already done. and going forward, there should be greater balance between mitigation and adaptation, recognition of those countries already dealing with the effects of climate change. parties will also begin working towards a post—2025 finance goal to help developing nations with the aim of increasing the amount needed in 2024. but the most substantial changes relate to the loss and damage sections, that poor and vulnerable countries have been demanding for the impact already caused by climate change. they will be a dialogue to discuss the arrangements for funding of activities to avert, minimize and address loss and damage in these countries. it's the first time it has appeared in a climate text. no amount discuss, and you will have heard the dissatisfaction from the likes of guinea, they say it's not perfect, far from the likes of guinea, they say it's not perfect, farfrom it, but they will accept it in the spirit of compromise. john kerry is the us special presidential envoy for climate, he has been speaking. let's remind you what he had to say. i close by saying not everybody in public life, and i've been in public life, and i've been in public life for a long time, and we are all in public life, whether permanently or temporarily in this endeavour, not everyone gets to make choices about life and death. not everyone gets to make choices that actually affect an entire planet. we here are privileged to do exactly that. so i hope before long we are going to ratify this, accept this text, initiate a critical set of choices for all citizens around the world for this decade, so that we can in fact guarantee to our children, grandchildren, the next generations that we did our job. and i'm proud to be part of it, thank you.— of it, thank you. john kerry, who has _ of it, thank you. john kerry, who has been _ of it, thank you. john kerry, who has been locked - of it, thank you. john kerry, who has been locked in - who has been locked in discussions with his opposite number from discussions with his opposite numberfrom china. president number from china. president biden numberfrom china. president biden and president xi will be talking further on monday. the eu climate chief was clearly frustrated with some of the things he was hearing in the room warned nations not to kill this moment by asking for yet more changes to the text. and more changes to the text. and it is my firm — more changes to the text. and it is my firm belief _ more changes to the text. jifuc it is my firm belief that the text on the table now reflects perfectly well this respect shown by the presidency, and at the same time allows us to act with the urgency that is essential for our survival. so i please implore you, please, embrace this text so that we can bring hope to the hearts of our children and grandchildren. they are waiting for us, they will not forgive us if we fail them today. will not forgive us if we fail them today-— them today. there was an ovation in _ them today. there was an ovation in the _ them today. there was an ovation in the room, - them today. there was an ovation in the room, lotsl them today. there was an l ovation in the room, lots of people like that mattered because they had just been hearing from india, expressing its reservations over key parts of the text. michaeljacobs is still with me, the former climate adviser to british prime minister gordon brown, now professor of political economy at the university of sheffield. when he wrapped up that informal uptake, alok sharma said there is a very thin green thread wrapped around these texts and if we start pulling at it, it will unravel. as you were telling us a short time ago, that is why they were piling on the pressure, on india. india is the one — pressure, on india. india is the one country _ pressure, on india. india is the one country who - pressure, on india. india is the one country who have. pressure, on india. india is. the one country who have said we are not happy with the text, and notjust that we are not happy with the text, and not just that they are not happy with it, but they don't want to agree to it. lots of countries said they were not happy with things but in the spirit of compromise, they would agree to the text. india said they were not prepared to agree, and as alok sharma, the uk presidency chair said, this is like a little tapestry, if india pulls a thread, the whole thing will start unravelling because other countries will say, hang on, there are lots of things we don't like either and they will pull on other threads. so alok sharma and the vast majority of countries who have spoken are desperate to keep the text intact and they will now be talking to india, trying to pressurise them into withdrawing the objections, or finding some minuscule shift in language which everybody else can accept and which willjust mean india can say, well, we did win something at the end. quite a tense little moment because india is a strong country, a big country, with principles and it tends to act on principles, and it doesn't like some of the things in the text. it will be a very interesting few minutes. i text. it will be a very interesting few minutes. i have 'ust seen interesting few minutes. i have just seen a _ interesting few minutes. i have just

get a text like over the line? also, it's old. turning the heating off might be a little tactic by the british to make people feel it is getting a bit glasgow is and we need to go home, or it mightjust be the venue organisers saying, we have been instructed to provide until five o'clock on saturday afternoon, so who knows? the pressure begins to build and there have been previous cops before where we see the pressure built at the end of the conference, so this will be an interesting few minutes, but i do think we will be coming back togetherfairly i do think we will be coming back together fairly soon and the agreement will be put through. the chair has a little gabble. through. the chair has a little rabble. ,, ,. , , gabble. set the scene, because --eole gabble. set the

and processes. there l treaties and processes. there will be one plenary but lots of different texts, so in practise, the big one we have all really focused on, that you have taken clips from, is the decision of cop26, which is called one cop26. the others are agreements arising out of these other processes. those also have to be formally agreed, but 26 will be the first one, that will get the applause and then there will be applause and then there will be a rather odd moment when we think we have all done it, and in fact he still has to get agreement on all the other ones. you will probably take your camera is off the plenary at that point, i suspect. to mark the _ at that point, i suspect. to mark the card, the language i just set out, the different issues that have been fiercely fought over in the last few days, as you say, they relate to cop26, but there has been some finishing work done on paris. and you can't put that bit of text in that agreement, because legally that is unsound. is that how it works? yes, basically, once you have a treaty, you finish the paris rule book, because that treaty was at a pretty general level, so we have had more detailed regulations in a domestic context that would be secondary legislation. once you have an act of parliament, you have secondary legislation that goes through parliament to tie up the regulations that go with the regulations that go with the more general text you started with. so we have been doing that, some of it has been controversial and we have only just reached agreement in the last couple of hours on some of that text, so that has to be formally agreed as well. and then a lot of that will continue in future cops, because there is still more work to do. work programmes have been set up and work needs to be done on some of those issues to take things forward, like carbon markets. just finall , like carbon markets. just finally, because - like carbon markets. just finally, because i- like carbon markets. just finally, because i know i like carbon markets. just finally, because i know you have to go, you are a veteran of this process... where does the climate roadshow go next? how quickly does it happen? they agree all these things, how quickly do they start dealing with these issues? for the technical _ dealing with these issues? fr?" the technical issues, there are meetings every quarter, so they have them now in bonn, where the unfccc is based. only officials go to those, ministers don't go to those, they deal with technical matters. the next place the roadshow goes is back to domestic politics. because countries have been told, the commitment you have made, often quite painfully, in your domestic parliaments and legislatures, they are not good enough. you have to come back next year. so actually this now goes back to westminster, to the american congress, to each of the national parliaments to try to improve those policies, to cut emissions further in the period to 2030, and then we hope countries will come back next year at about this time to egypt, where cop 27 will be held and they will bring back stronger commitments which will together add up to a pathway towards holding climate change towards holding climate change to 1.5 degrees, globalwarming to 1.5 degrees, globalwarming to 1.5 degrees, globalwarming to 1.5 degrees. so it's going back to national capitals and politics. this isjust the annual coming together, if you like, of all those domestic political processes, and it's where we tell each other how far we have got at home. this time we told each other, well done, but you are not nearly there, come back in a year. it will be done in our parliament and in every country around the world and it's not going to be easy. world and it's

understanding that it does not reflect or prejudge the inevitable outcome that we see on loss and damage, to which the most vulnerable... basic common decency, the group of 77 and china will continue to push. and china will continue to ush. , , ., ., push. the representative of guinea there, _ push. the representative of guinea there, who - push. the representative of guinea there, who was - push.

compromise alok sharma has talked about, they are prepared to wave it through and keep the talking on going. with me, the of the climate change conservation foundation. what do you make of it all? this conservation foundation. what do you make of it all?- do you make of it all? this is really now — do you make of it all? this is really now hanging _ do you make of it all? this is really now hanging by - do you make of it all? this is really now hanging by a - do you make of it all? this is i really now hanging by a thread, isn't it? we have some very late interventions from a number of countries, developing countries, the g 77, backed up by india and in most cases china, calling for the wealthy countries to meet their historical responsibilities. and that is, in order to keep global temperatures to 1.5 degrees, developed countries need the resources to adapt to the climate change already being experienced, and to develop while keeping emissions down. and there has been a trust deficit between rich countries and poor countries over the delivery of this money they have now been promised for years. they want to see some more assurances in the text that the money will be forthcoming, the 100 billion, in the next few years, starting next year, and then a renegotiation from 2025. looking at my notes on what india said, they said developing countries have their right to a fair share of the carbon budget. how can we make assurances on phasing out coal and fossil fuels when we are still developing? there is a view among some countries, we heard it from other countries, the developed countries are lecturing other countries, having put all of this carbon into the air, and now telling them they need to go quicker, and there is a lot of resentment on that. there is, althou . h resentment on that. there is, although i— resentment on that. there is, although i would _ resentment on that. there is, although i would say - resentment on that. there is, although i would say that - resentment on that. there is, | although i would say that india lost some authority when it argued to water down the text on coal, that was disappointing to see. they have a strong moral case on loss and damage reparations and compensation and finance. they are on a less strong territory when it comes to watering down texts about rapidly phasing out coal generation and fossil fuel subsidies. it would be disappointing to see further watering down of that text. also interesting to see the pacific island nations depart a bit from the g7 and say, we want the money, but we need mitigation, we need the agreement to land and we need a trajectory to 2 degrees and then 1.5, because no amount of money will protect us from rising sea levels. there was some desperation from the pacific island states who feel they can't hold quite as strong a position because the very future of those pacific island nations are at stake right now. that's really interesting, you are almost signalling that for all the language about acceleration and whether it's strong enough and the fact it is not mandate, actually, that ship has sailed and the room knows that the end of coal is coming. that's are very interesting debate in australia, your country. australia, your country. australia is the largest exporter of coal and gas in the world, ourfossilfuel emissions are the third largest in the world after saudi arabia and russia. so the context matters for australia, although now it has been significantly watered down, it's now really focuses on domestic coal generation, it's now pushed aside metallurgical coal, used for steel—making, and coal exports, but any language on this agreement in whole is significant language. it does put another nail in the coffin of coal, and major gas producers around the world, it will not be lost on them to know that if there is coal language, sooner or later there will be language on gas as well. major gas producing nations will be seeing this as being in the firing line next if the coal language manages to hold, but we are seeing india push very strongly for its removal, which would be disappointing. l removal, which would be

an issue and this text will be an issue and this text will be used, particularly the ambition and the mitigation texts which includes a requirement for australia to update the 2030 target next year. that would homework it fails to bring to this cop. they will be strongly urged to do it. there is also a requirement for a ministerial roundtable meeting every year, to look at how the carbon budget is going to be met, how those increased ndcs will be met, and they will be a strong focus on australia's position, because australia's performance at that cop has been really appalling. at that cop
