What recent developments occurred in COP negotiations?

Recent developments in COP negotiations include the agreement reached at COP26 in Glasgow, which aims to set the global climate agenda for the next decade. Key aspects of the Glasgow Climate Pact include commitments to limit global warming to 1.5C and a plan to phase down unabated coal usage for the first time in a COP agreement, despite a last-minute weakening of language pushed by India and China[1][2][4].

Additionally, the pact urges developed nations to double their climate finance for adaptation by 2025 and emphasizes the need for countries to present more ambitious emissions targets by the end of next year[3][4]. The agreement also establishes a dialogue for funding loss and damage caused by climate impacts[4].
