While the interventions of Michael Bloomberg and Great Thunberg will likely gain headlines, there is still uncertainty over whether a final decision can be taken here that will be ambitious and set out a clear timeline for countries to get their pledges on the table ahead of COP26 in Glasgow in November 2020. There is hope that a large number of countries will sign up to long term net-zero emissions targets, and if that happens it will be significant progress.
