The Glasgow Climate Pact
 Nations adopted the Glasgow Climate Pact, aiming to turn the 2020s into a decade of climate action and support. The package of decisions consists of a range of agreed items, including strengthened efforts to build resilience to climate change, to curb greenhouse gas emissions and to provide the necessary finance for both The agreement acknowledges that commitments made by countries so far to cut emissions of planet-heating greenhouse gases are nowhere near enough to prevent planetary warming from exceeding 1.5 degrees above preindustrial temperatures. To attempt to solve this, it asks governments to strengthen those targets by the end of next year, rather than every five years, as previously required
Development:
The pact's main elements are:
 1-An agreement to re-visit emission reduction plans in 2022 in order to try to keep the 1.5 °C Paris Agreement target achievable 
2-The first ever inclusion of a commitment to limit ("phase down") the use of unabated coal (from this wording it implicitly follows that utilizing coal with "abatement" (net-zero emission), e.g. by neutralizing the resulting carbon dioxide via the CO2-to-stone process, need not be reduced. However this carbon capture and storage is too expensive for most coal fired power stations.) 
3-A commitment to climate finance for developing countries
As part of the package of decisions, nations also completed the Paris Agreement’s rulebook as it relates to market mechanisms and non-market approaches and the transparent reporting of climate actions and support provided or received, including for loss and damage.
Pledges:
 1-The number of countries pledged to reach net-zero emissions passed 140. This target includes 90% of current global greenhouse gas emissions. 
2-More than 100 countries, including Brazil, pledged to reverse deforestation by 2030.
 3-More than 40 countries pledged to move away from coal. 
4-India promised to draw half of its energy requirement from renewable sources by 2030. 
5-The governments of 24 developed countries and a group of major car manufacturers including GM, Ford, Volvo, BYD Auto, Jaguar Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz committed to "work towards all sales of new cars and vans being zero emission globally by 2040, and by no later than 2035 in leading markets". Major car manufacturing nations like the US, Germany, China, Japan and South Korea, as well as Volkswagen, Toyota, Peugeot, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai did not pledge.
TAIWAN:
 The Executive Yuan plans to re-evaluate Taiwan’s carbon emissions goal by the end of next year, in line with the Glasgow Climate Pact, Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) Minister Chang Tzi-chin said yesterday.
 Taiwan's official emission reduction target is stated in the greenhouse gas reduction and managemeny Act, passed in 2015, which is to reduce emissions to at least 50 percent of the 2005 emission level by 2050
 The EPA states on its Web site that it aims to reduce carbon emission levels to 20 percent below those of 2005 by 2030, and that carbon emissions last year decreased by 2 percent against 2005 levels. President Tsai Ing-wen in April said that Taiwan was making “relevant preparations” to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, in line with the goals of the international community
Chang also said yesterday that a climate action act that the EPA is drafting is to include rules on carbon pricing, with the revenue being invested in measures to decrease emissions.
 India:
 During the closing plenary, India made an intervention that caused uproar among developed countries (as well as some developing countries), when it committed to a “phasedown of unabated coal power and phase-out of inefficient fossil fuel subsidies,” rather than a “phase out” of coal. Coal is among the most polluting fossil fuels.

In the end, countries agreed to "phase down" rather than "phase out" coal, amid expressions of disappointment by some. COP26 President Alok Sharma said he was "deeply sorry" for how events had unfolded 
Indonesia: At the final stage of the COP26 negotiations, Indonesia acknowledged the unbalanced outcome in the climate pact. Yet, Indonesia welcomed the progress made in elaborating the Paris rulebook and said it was ready to work on concrete implementation of the agreed document.
 Indonesia is also one of the world’s major coal exporters, which reportedly generated $38 billion in export earnings in the first semester of 2021 alone. Despite the commitment to stop building new coal-fired power plants by 2056, Indonesia will continue to use, produce, and consume coal as a primary energy source in supporting the nation’s fast-growing economic development.
 Indonesia invited all nations to fulfill their pledges or promises with a spirit of togetherness and global collaboration with some flexibilities and compromises. Jakarta also pushed for higher ambitions in the nearer future. 
China: China recall their Joint Statement Addressing the Climate Crisis of April 17th, 2021. They are committed to its effective implementation and appreciate the intensive work that has taken place to date and the value of continued discussion.
 China, alarmed by reports including the Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report released on August 9th, 2021, further recognize the seriousness and urgency of the climate crisis. They are committed to tackling it through their respective accelerated actions in the critical decade of the 2020s, as well as through cooperation in multilateral processes, including the UNFCCC process, to avoid catastrophic impacts.
 China recall their intention to continue discussing, both on the road to COP 26 and beyond, concrete actions in the 2020s to reduce emissions aimed at keeping the Paris Agreement-aligned temperature limit within reach. With that clear purpose, and anticipating that particular forms of cooperation will have the effect of significantly accelerating emission reductions and limitations, including in the form of specific goals, targets, policies, and measures, the two sides intend to engage in the actions and cooperative activities set forth below.
Main achievements of the deal:
 1-Re-visiting emissions-cutting plans next year to try to keep 1.5C target reachable 
2-The first ever inclusion of a commitment to limit coal use
 3-Increased financial help for developing countries
