✔ All 197 countries agreed to "phase down" their use of coal
✔ Nations with 91% of the world's forests vowed to protect and restore them
✔ China, the US, and India made big promises but avoided many deals
COP26 saw 197 countries meet for two weeks in Glasgow to agree on strategies to combat the world's biggest existential threat: climate change.
The 26th edition of the Conference of the Parties, to give the event its full name, was the site of important progress on eradicating coal, electrifying transport, and convincing countries to join the fight.
It fell short in a number of areas, with China, India, and the US all failing to recognise the devastating impact of a phenomenon which has already increased the global temperature by 1.1°C since pre-industrial times.
We're still facing a rising number of natural disasters; low-lying nations remain under threat; and the end of life as we know it is still on the not-too-distant horizon - but the world did at least take steps towards reducing the impact of climate change.
