Last month, in a now-deleted tweet, one of the United Kingdom’s climate negotiators weighed in on a Twitter discussion to back what is perceived as Britain’s hands-off approach ahead of COP 26, the global climate summit it is hosting in November.
The tweet’s disappearance only added to an already murky image of the country’s strategy.

The goal is to chart the world’s path toward decarbonization by rethinking the functioning of our economies, while at the same time ensuring there is enough ambition and that the most vulnerable are not left behind.
