INTRODUCTION
Climate change is one of the most important problem in the world presently and it
includes both global warming as well as its impact on the weather patterns of the Earth. In simple
words, climate change can be defined as a long-term change in the average patterns of weather
that define the regional as well as global climates (Jacobs, 2021). The Climate Change
Conference or COP26 was the 26th Climate Change Conference of the United Nations. The
conference was held at the SEC Centre in Glasgow, United Kingdom. The conference included a
group of nearly 20 governments as well as financial institutions agreeing on stopping to fund
new fossil fuel projects that are carried out overseas. It can be stated that the UN Climatic
Modification Conference is the worldwide most crucial height on climate change. The European
Union is focussed on becoming carbon neutral by 2030. The respective report will analyse the
2030 Climate Target Plan and explain if organisations in the western world will truly become
carbon neutral and achieve zero emissions by 2030.
MAIN BODY
COP stands for Conference of the parties and most of the climatic experts define COP26
as the most important climatic modification instant since the Paris Agreement. This is because
the countries will have to report how have they progressed by implementing the respective
Agreement (McGregor and Scandrett, 2022). During the summit, it was found that various steps
are being taken towards addressing the climate crisis. There were different topics related to the
climate change that were discussed during the conference. The primary purpose was to reduce
the worst impacts of climate change on the world. This ensured that all the different topics
related to the climate change were discussed and that appropriate strategies were developed
(Scott and Gössling, 2021). As per the 2030 Climate Target Plan, a proposal was made by the
Commission to increase the EU's goal on reducing the greenhouse gases and hence, set a much
more ambitious path for the coming 10 years. Further, COP26 is the next yearly gathering of UN
climate change meeting which is the global's most essential peak on climatic change.
COP stands for the conference of Parties where the nation are subscribed under United
Nations framework convention on climatic alteration that are opted in 1992. Here, the climate
experts also depict COP26 which is the most essential climate moment since 2015. Further,

practical actions are taken for critical time particularly the most climate vulnerable (Pandey,
2021). Under this, communities need to understand the requirements of change that solutions that
work best for them. Here, people needs to take suitable actions and finance to defend less
financial gain and front line gathering from the upcoming impact of climatic modification.
Under this meeting, people bring actual global education and method which are working for
the climate argument. Here, climate actions must be comprehensive, develop women leader,
empowering vocalization from the worldwide south and also delivering the big systems change
when needed. Here, people are trustworthy mate authoritative with government and conclusion
makers from the society and effective district to the global and national scales (Nikolova and
Ryder, 2021). Under this, people are attached towards operating with front line societies in order
to make sure that they are treated as rights-holders rather than beneficiaries. Here, people are
involved as per the climate negotiate as the group will aid envoy from south and also offer
suitable expertise from around 50 years of work with local communities (Kythreotis and et. al.,
2021).
Under this, the authorized individual of UN climatic modification meeting for the 60 years
in which people will leverage their expertise to make sure that the requirements of front line
people are advance and fundamental to the discussions (Bywater and Kusch-Brandt, 2022). The
five major points which are asks for COP26 that include limit warming to 1.5 degree Celsius that
include deep de-carbonisation is needed to extent upcoming worldwide temperature that increase
to enhance to 1.5 degree Celsius higher up the industrialized plane. In this, each increment in
temperature add towards the security of climate impact (van den Berg and et. al., 2022). Despite
from this, scale up the climate finance needs to increase with around 50% of the public climatic
economic science which is being devoted to the adaption in the form of aid. The failure and harm
that should be located for fresh and additive commercial enterprise.
Furthermore, address failure and harm shows less financial gain and vulnerable gathering
across the worldwide which are facing failure from affection of climate. These changes impact
those who contribute the least to the issue as the needs to be address in urgent manner (Cai and
et. al., 2022). Drive inclusive activities must be grounded in the entire social group that include
youth, women, marginalised groups and less financial gain people (Sugden and et. al., 2020).
Only the inclusive and diverse people recognise these groups because right-holders can get the

better of the blockage that standing in the progression. Lastly, for promoting the method that
working for the nature and people as every climatic actions needs to be grounded at the local
level. For this, the participation and ground conceptualization leads to offer lengthy duration and
sustainable climatic method for which the change can start in an effective manner. The practical
actions host an effective presentation standing in COP26 Green zone where people will
showcase innovative solutions and inspire that they are already tackling the climate change.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion, it has been identified that most of the population of agriculture
depends on the climatic conditions that has severe impact on the system. All the climate action
should work to enhance the rural livelihoods that are sustainable and inclusive. It has been
identified that by opting sustainable agro-ecology it leads to enhance the productivity with local
and planetary ecological boundaries, enhance the ability of farmers to opt changing climate and
reduce agriculture emission by enhancing soil organic matter. Therefore, it has been identified
that the main objective of COP26 is to make efforts for the frequent change climate conditions
and also respond towards various situations conferred by the environmental condition urgency.
