However, cross-sectional analysis, simulations, and intertemporal panel data could be helpful

@KCCWG @SEAFKenya @greenafricaorg @GP_Kenya @ActivistaNai @kinyanjui001 @MarvelPowerson @WanjaMbugua3 @kiolijohn @FrankMsafiri7 @SirMianoJ @Cherobenski @USAIDKenya @UNFCCC A7: The ambition anchors NDCs and Long-Term Strategies setting out a pathway to net zero emissions; climate finance commitments to support the most vulnerable; and ambitious adaptation plans and underlying policies.

Interestingly, China is not willing to loose grip of her coal activities. Russia's climate strategy is wanting, infact it hasnt formally ratified Paris Agreement

Again it tops crude oil and natural gas importation in the world.

[Amakobe @Amakobe5]

There is risk of increased intensity of climate extremes for instance heat waves being witnessed across continents which are likely to intensify if further warming is not prevented

COP 26 matters more than the other COPs given the high level political mobilization that has been marshalled by UK COP26 Presidency that has emphasized on action than preceding COPs and especially the forerunning high end meetings

[Amakobe @Amakobe5]

@KCCWG @SEAFKenya @greenafricaorg @GP_Kenya @ActivistaNai @Cherobenski @FrankMsafiri7 @kiolijohn @WanjaMbugua3 @kinyanjui001 @MarvelPowerson @SirMianoJ @USAIDKenya A3. COP 26 is unique in that we have witnessed alliances forming up in the past two years that are stressing climate action with emphasis to cut down fossil fuels extraction and therefore putting key economies on spot

[Amakobe @Amakobe5]

@KCCWG @SEAFKenya @greenafricaorg @GP_Kenya @ActivistaNai @Cherobenski @FrankMsafiri7 @kiolijohn @WanjaMbugua3 @kinyanjui001 @MarvelPowerson @SirMianoJ @USAIDKenya A3. COP26 is particularly significant given that it is expected to offer conclusion in terms of consensus on sticky issues that have underpinned negotiations, especially key aspects that were carried over from COP 25.

Kyoto Protocol on the other hand is based on the principles and provisions of the Convention and follows its annex-based structure. It only binds developed countries.

ThePA's key aim is to strengthen global response to climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Wycliffe Amakobe: Nature-based solutions to averting climate change impacts have not featured in previous COPS yet they form key entries for local community action.
