Canada’s new environment minister “cautiously optimistic” about UN climate summit

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said Friday he is “cautiously optimistic” about the upcoming United Nations COP26 conference, but said “difficult negotiations” lie ahead and not all states are willing to “do more faster.”

International officials are set to meet in Scotland starting Sunday as they try to ramp up efforts to curb climate change amid mounting tensions over failed funding promises.

The COP26 meetings, delayed a year by COVID-19, are intended to finalize the rule book for the Paris accord, including how carbon emissions trading can work between countries and what each country has to report about progress toward climate goals.
