GLASGOW, KOMPAS - The leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) countries did not offer much concrete commitment in efforts to limit global warming and tackle climate change at the G20 Summit, which ended on Sunday (31/10/2021) in Rome, Italy. The non-optimal result of days of negotiations by diplomats left a great task for the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland.
The summit document stated that countries' plans to limit emissions must be strengthened "if needed". There is no specific time limit to reach the carbon-free target by 2050.
