COP26 climate conference: Article in News Context:The UK will host the COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference from October 31 to November 12. This year marks the 26th Conference of Parties (thus the name COP26) and will be held in the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow. What is the Conference of Parties? COP comes under the United Nations Climate Change Framework Convention (UNFCCC) which was formed in 1994. The UNFCCC was established to work towards stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. COP members have been meeting every year since 1995 (COP1 was held in 1995 in Berlin).

COP26 climate conference: Article in News According to the UNFCCC, COP26 will work towards four goals: Secure global net-zero by mid-century and keep 1.5 degrees within reach. Adapt to protect communities and natural habitats. Mobilise finance: To deliver on our first two goals, developed countries must make good on their promise to mobilise at least $100bn in climate finance per year by 2020. Finalise the Paris Rulebook : Leaders will work together to frame a list of detailed rules that will help fulfil the Paris Agreement. What could India do to reach its targets? It is time for India to update its Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs. (NDCs We need to decarbonise the electricity, transport sector and start looking at carbon per passenger mile. Aggressively figure out how to transition our coal sector. Time may have come for India to announce that we will not be building any more coal-fired power plants beyond what is in the pipeline. India also needs to ramp up the legal and institutional framework of climate change.

About COP-15 The theme of the COP-15 is Ecological Civilization: Building a Shared Future for All Life on Earth. COP15 is being held to review the achievement and delivery of the CBD s Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020

Kunming Declaration on biodiversity conservation Article in News 30 by 30 Target The declaration made a reference to the '30 by 30' target which is a key proposal being debated at the COP15, that would afford 30% of the Earth s land and oceans protected status by 2030.

One Sun One World One Grid Article in News The Union Minister for Power and New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has addressed the Ministerial session of the Green Grids Initiative-One Sun One World One Grid (OSOWOG) Northwest Europe Cooperative Event. The mega plan of OSOWOG calls for transnational electricity grid supplying solar power across the globe. It will connect 140 countries through a common grid that will be used to transfer solar power. The idea was first floated by PM Modi in 2018 during the first assembly of the International Solar Alliance (ISA). The vision behind the OSOWOG mantra is the Sun never sets and is a constant at some geographical location, globally, at any given point of time. With India at the fulcrum, the solar spectrum can easily be divided into two broad zones viz:

One Sun One World One Grid Article in News Far East: It would include countries like Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Far West: It would cover the Middle East and the Africa Region. Implementation phases of the plan The plan is divided into three phases: Phase 1: It will connect the Indian grid with the Middle East, South Asia and South-East Asian grids to share solar and other renewable energy resources Phase 2: It will connect the first phase nations with the African pool of renewable sources Phase 3: It will be the concluding step of global interconnection. Note-In May 2021, the United Kingdom and India have agreed to jointly launch the Green Grids-One Sun One World One Grid initiative at the COP26 summit being hosted by the UK at Glasgow in November 2021. The concept of OSOWOG is what the UK has called a green grid.
