Participants of the climate conference in Glasgow belatedly agreed on the text of its statement 
After two weeks of discussions, the participants of the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26) agreed on the text of its final statement. It is reported by The Washington Post.
It is clarified that diplomats from nearly 200 countries have pledged to reduce carbon emissions, eliminate certain types of fossil fuels and increase aid to poor countries at the forefront of the fight against climate change.
As noted by BBC News, the final document contains softer wording than in the draft agreement. In addition, the promises made in Glasgow are insufficient to get on the path of limiting temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius, as mandated by the historic 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
26th Session of the Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention The United Nations on Climate Change (COP26) was supposed to be held in Glasgow, Scotland from October 31 to November 12, but the event was extended by a day due to contradictions between delegations.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin in a video message to COP26 delegates said that the country intends to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 using forest ecosystems. He emphasized that Russian forests “have significant potential for absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen” and account for almost 20 percent of all the world's forests.
