How green was the COP26 climate summit?

If you are going to https://comicvine.gamespot.com/profile/ricjuriya/about-me/ host a world summit on climate change then it really should attempt to be green as possible. The UK government says it is committed https://imgops.com/www.ipressusa.com/sponsered/tvolve-reviews/ to making the event "carbon neutral" but a new report suggests its emissions will be more than double those from the previous summit in Madrid. https://www.tetongravity.com/community/profile/m28fba/

More delegates, more emissions

According to an https://disqus.com/by/ricjuriya/about/ initial assessment report for the UK government the carbon emissions for COP26 are expected to reach the equivalent of 102,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide. That is similar to the annual http://ricjuriya.canariblogs.com/tvolve-reviews-21016327 emissions from about 10,000 UK households. the figure for COP26 is double the emissions from the last climate https://visual.ly/community/Infographics/business/tvolve-reviews summit in Madrid in 2019.

The UK government https://ipressusa---usa.blogspot.com/2021/11/tvolve-reviews.html says that, despite the Covid pandemic, the Glasgow COP attracted more than 39,000 participants as opposed to 27,000 in Madrid in 2019. International flights and private jets According to the report, about 60% of the COP26 emissions are https://ebusinesspages.com/ricjuriya.user estimated to have come from international flights.

In order to http://ricjuriya.simplesite.com/451046493 avoid emissions from flights, attendees were urged to travel by land where possible. However many world leaders flew in by private jet, plus there were cargo aircraft which https://creativemarket.com/users/ricjuriya carried helicopters and vehicles for motorcades.

Aviation analytics https://forum.maidenfans.com/members/ricjuriya.123487/#about company Cirium told the BBC's Reality Check there was a total of 76 flights involving private jets, or VIP flights, arriving in and around Glasgow https://my.desktopnexus.com/ricjuriya/ in the four days leading up to 1 November.

Powering the venue

The report, https://paper.li/Z94VgKvj6huTSoNqQalwI prepared for the government by sustainability consultant Arup, says that it is the "preliminary baseline assessment" for COP26 and it does not breakdown the figures for other emissions. https://www.prfree.org/@ricjuriya/https-wwwipressusacom-sponsered-tvolve-reviews-3rm6r74y8meq Among the other factors included in the assessment is "energy, water and waste management" at the https://www.xen-factory.com/index.php?members/ricjuriya.18387/#about SEC campus where the summit is being held.

According to the https://photopeach.com/user/ricjuriya Arup report, a new mains power supply was installed at the SEC to provide power for temporary buildings to avoid the use of generators, except for backup power in certain circumstances. https://meta.stackexchange.com/users/1098742/ric-juriya?tab=profile It said energy supply during the event would also use a renewable energy tariff.

Low carbon transport https://www.gamedesire.com/player/ricjuriya including public transport and low-carbon vehicles were also promoted by COP organisers. Delegates to the blue zone were given public transport travel cards and a conference https://loop.frontiersin.org/people/1553689/bio shuttle bus operated during the event using an electric fleet.
