This week, Alok Sharma, the COP26 president, is taking part in two significant climate events in Sweden with the aim of transforming the climate pledges made in the Glasgow Climate Pact into action ahead of COP27<\/a> in Egypt.<\/p>\n On Tuesday 31 May, the COP26 President will speak in Stockholm at the Ministerial on Climate Action (MOCA). This event is co-hosted by Canada, the EU and China and will be centred around the implementation of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n Following this, Sharma will participate in an event called Stockholm +50, which has been organised by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly to mark 50 years since the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment.<\/p>\n At MOCA, Sharma will review the accomplishments of COP26, which maintained the target of preventing global temperatures from rising more than 1.5\u00b0C, whilst strengthening progress on finance for climate action, adaptation and loss and damage. As well as this, he is set to consider the conclusions from the May Ministerial on Implementation, which was co-hosted by Egypt and the UK in Copenhagen two weeks ago. This event restored emphasis on the need to deliver on the Glasgow Climate Pact, and the actions that must be taken to attain these goals.<\/p>\n The COP26 President will reiterate the May Ministerial\u2019s agreement that countries should reconsider their 2030 emissions reductions targets before COP27 and reinforce them with feasible plans if they do not line up with the objectives set out in the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n He will discuss the necessity for scaling up and providing timely access to finance for countries working to adapt to the effects of climate change, as well as delivering on scaling up resources for loss and damage and guaranteeing that climate action is being funded.<\/p>\nMinisterial on Climate Action<\/h3>\n
