Western media: The United States and Europe and other countries have promised carbon reduction targets, and Australia is "different"

According to EFE Brussels reported on October 24, the following are the commitments and positions that countries or regional organizations will make at COP26, although it is not excluded that they may make new commitments on the eve of the summit.

EU: The goal is to reduce carbon emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and to be carbon neutral by 2050. The EU, which is currently developing legislation to achieve these goals, urges the rest of the international community to demonstrate greater climate ambition and fiscal solidarity. As the host of COP26, the UK stands on the same line as the EU.

UNITED STATES: President Biden hopes to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century and has announced significant investments in sustainable industrial sectors such as solar and electric vehicles.

Major developing economies: Brazil will end illegal deforestation by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2050. Russia is considering the possibility of setting a net zero emissions target for 2060. India is the world's third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide, but did not say when it plans to achieve carbon neutrality. South Africa has raised its target to limit greenhouse gas emissions below 510 million tonnes by 2025.

Other advanced economies: Japan aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 46 percent in FY2030 compared to FY2013. South Korea aims to be carbon neutral by 2050. New Zealand quadrupled its international assistance to address the climate crisis.

Australia is different, the country produces coal and natural gas, and Prime Minister Scott Morrison did not even plan to attend the climate conference at first. In the end, he decided to attend, but the country did not raise its commitments or set a specific date for decarbonizing the economy.
