With COP26 drawing to a close, SFC brings together articles which reflect on outcomes of the event, as well as critical analysis and opinion pieces. A much-reported moment was the wording change from 'phase-out of unabated coal' to 'phasedown' proposed by India's Environment Minister, Bhupender Yadav. Whilst critics cited this change as disappointing, analysis unpicks this wording as largely symbolic, due to a lack of numerical targets. Others go further to say that acceptance of the 'phasedown' language itself is a big step, combined with India's 500 gigawatt target for renewable energy by 2030.
