COP27: Not good enough

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: The Climate Summit, which has just concluded in Sharm El Sheik, the COP27 was not one of the better moments for global climate response. If there was a big win, and I wouldn't call it a big win, but at least it's progress, it's on the establishment of a loss and damage fund and the idea is to use funds from industrialized countries that pay for climate-related losses that are already being experienced in the billions and billions of dollars in poorer countries.

COP26: What to expect

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: Happy COP26 kickoff day. It's interesting, first of all, because the COP26 summit is right after the G-20. Generally speaking, pretty friendly G-20. Easier by the fact that the challenges were not front and center, but now we have the tough meeting, which is the COP26, where there's an absence of trust, there's an absence of global leadership, the Chinese, again, aren't there and that's a huge deal.

COP falling apart doesn't mean we're failing to respond to climate: Ian Bremmer

For Ian Bremmer, on the one hand accepting climate science in the age of fake news and disinformation is a huge victory. But on the other hand, in a few days COP26 — the biggest global summit on the most important global issue we all face right now — will probably just kick the can down the road because global leadership has checked out. Still, Bremmer says this is an opportunity for the COP process to be driven in the future by other people different from the current old males that run the show.
