Just as COP26 was about to wrap up its work for Wednesday, the United States and China helped end the day on a positive note with the joint announcement that the two nations have agreed to work together on more ambitious climate action in this decade, doing more to cut emissions, including from methane. Meanwhile, the UK Presidency on Wednesday published a draft of the final outcome document of the conference, calling on countries to step up ambition and define their ‘Net-Zero’ strategies as early as 2022. t is also the first time that ‘loss and damage’ and a call to end fossil fuel subsidies have been included in such a document – a step which drew mixed reactions from some civil society organizations, as well as a broader call for a much more ambitious text.
