**What happened today at #COP26? 2 - Tue 2nd**
My highlights/lowlights:
1) Police apologised for diverting women alone through dark parks in Glasgow. Hopefully won't happen againhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/cop26-police-apologise-to-women-forced-to-walk-through-dark-park-by-road-closures-xtr26w599 …
2) $1.7bn to support indigenous people advance their land rights by 2025, inc. f/UK, Norway, Germany, US, Netherlands. Critical for climate change (as well as justice) because indigenous people are much better at taking care of forests than most:https://www.climatechangenews.com/2020/01/27/indigenous-lands-protected-areas-limit-amazons-carbon-emissions/ …
3) Complaints are mounting that COP26 is turning into most exclusive COP in years, even though observers they were reassured to the last minute they would be welcomed and included:

@CANIntl set to discuss this in their press conference tomorrow
4) The methane pledge is pretty big news, with 105 signatories last I heard, including UAE, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, US (not Russia though) https://twitter.com/jloistf/status/1455534443414839296 …
@CarbonBrief were on the ball publishing this to set out the caveats thoughhttps://twitter.com/CarbonBrief/status/1455549797256077315 …
5) I'm still reeling from the India pledge. Still waiting for many details including if its GHGs or CO2. https://twitter.com/DrSimEvans/status/1455560761095462915 …
Here's @LouDelBello to give you all the context

6) There's rumours Covid has arrived at the talkshttps://twitter.com/SamGRuta/status/1455516643380105222 …
7) Actual negotiations are still in early days, but there's talk of early progress on carbon market rules (which became a huge source of tension at COP25 in Madrid two years ago)https://twitter.com/James_BG/status/1455517795840667652 …
8) Nigeria also set a net zero target today, for 2060 https://twitter.com/jloistf/status/1455541264313634820 … And France, Germany, UK, US & EU promised $8.5bn to South Africa in next 3-5 years for just transition.https://twitter.com/ClaireClimate/status/1455581419036676098 …
9) @TheCVF called for a "Climate Emergency Pact" at #COP26, saying the "Paris regime is in default"
It called for countries to set new climate action targets every yearhttps://twitter.com/TheCVF/status/1455616827313242114 …
We need a “Climate Emergency Pact” 10) Finally. Japan dropped a new climate finance pledge, which Kerry said may help to deliver $100bn promise by 2022. Though still not clear if it will, plus Japan tends to deliver nearly all its finance in loans… More on $100bn here: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02846-3 …)pic.twitter.com/uneG2zifun
