How is it better? And if I upload it to Wikimedia Commons what do I put for the author and copyright please? Chidgk1 (talk) 13:37, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Name

What do the letters C.O.P stand for? 90.249.148.253 (talk) 07:57, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See the 3rd sentence of the article: "The conference is the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP)...". -- DeFacto (talk). 08:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Read it twice and still missed that! Thank you. 90.249.148.253 (talk) 08:49, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"under the co-presidency of the Alok Sharma and Nippy."

Nippy? Looks like this has been hacked, but I don't know how to fix it.

https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/nicola-sturgeon-explains-nippy-sweetie-nickname-1442087 Thanks for keeping an eye on the article. If any further Scots jokes appear just click "view history" and "undo" Chidgk1 (talk) 13:42, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should all the heads of state attending be in list format?

If not how do we decide who to mention? Perhaps a list at the end of the article (not volunteering) or just a link to a webpage if there is one? Chidgk1 (talk) 16:25, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Editathon

Pie chart

I think it should be removed because it is only only one view of the problem (e.g. other charts cover cumulative emissions and per person) so is not a neutral point of view. Chidgk1 (talk) 12:04, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've hidden the chart for now, until there is consensus that this should be included. —AFreshStart (talk) 12:33, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should India's net-zero by 2070 claims be included?

Third-largest emitter of CO₂, latest target date (and later than UK govt or others were expecting). A significant change nonetheless:

Webster, Ben; Burgess, Kaya; Philp, Catherine (1 November 2020). "Cop26: India puts off net zero to 2070 and deals blow to climate hopes". The Times.
Vittozzi, Katerina (1 November 2021). "COP26: India has given a distant net-zero target and is now asking the world for cash". Sky News.
Vaughan, Adam (2 November 2021). "COP26: Why India's 2070 net zero pledge is better news than it sounds". New Scientist.
"COP26: India PM Narendra Modi pledges net zero by 2070". BBC News. 2 November 2021.

I think yes but only very briefly - with a link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_in_India#Policies_and_legislation for all the details Chidgk1 (talk) 12:34, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added the content (wasn't sure where would be best, so created a separate section). —AFreshStart (talk) 12:55, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should we add a picture of Alok Sharma?

Given his position as President for COP26, should we have a picture of Alok Sharma in the article? We could perhaps replace the current first picture of more generalist politicians with the relevant specialist. RomanSpa (talk) 14:07, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
