A new Cop26 president is expected to be announced on Thursday, as part of a cabinet reshuffle.<\/p>\n<p>Bridge said 50 new people had been recruited within the climate diplomacy service to drive the UK\u2019s efforts to shift the world into taking more ambitious climate action. The Cop26 unit team is also &#8220;approaching 200 people,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe resources are there,\u201d he said, adding the whole diplomatic mission had been &#8220;instructed to have [climate change] as their top international priority this year&#8221;. &#8220;This is a whole government mindset.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On a less global front, the UK is also aiming to negotiate trade deals in the wake of Brexit.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/02\/04\/uk-walks-diplomatic-tightrope-2020-climate-summit-shaky-start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>UK walks<\/strong> diplomatic tightrope for 2020 climate summit after shaky start<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After she was sacked, O\u2019Neill made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/02\/04\/uk-walks-diplomatic-tightrope-2020-climate-summit-shaky-start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a blistering personal attack<\/a> on what she called Johnson\u2019s lack of understanding of the importance of the talks, accusing Number 10 of failing to provide the necessary leadership to make the talks a success.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, both former UK Prime Minister David Cameron and former foreign secretary William Hague refused to lead the UK\u2019s presidency of the talks, raising concerns no senior candidate would take the job.<\/p>\n<p>Cop26 is billed as the most important climate talks since countries signed the Paris Agreement in 2015. Governments are under pressure to submit toughen climate plans to the UN before the summit in November and bridge the gap between current levels of commitment and what is needed to limit global warming \u201cwell below 2C\u201d by the end of the century.<\/p>\n<p>At a time when global politics are not aligned with greater climate ambition, the UK presidency faces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/02\/04\/uk-walks-diplomatic-tightrope-2020-climate-summit-shaky-start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a steep climb to leverage the world\u2019s largest emitters into greater action<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The UK successfully bid to preside over the Cop26 with Italy, which is due to host a preparatory meeting and youth event in Milan.<\/p>\n<p>Bridge said said the UK needed to understand how every major country was taking decisions on climate action and \u201ctranslate that into an economic vision\u201d to provide \u201cthe positive momentum we need\u201d.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/02\/10\/which-countries-updated-ndc-2020-marshall-islands-suriname-norway-cop26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Marshall Islands<\/strong>, Suriname, Norway upgrade climate plans before Cop26<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Michael Gove, the UK\u2019s former environment minister, also set out his vision for summit. He is heavily tipped to become the next Cop26 president.<\/p>\n<p>But asked whether he wanted the job, Gove replied: \u201cI am very happy of the job that I have and there are many, many, many talented people who could do the job of Cop president better that I ever could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Gove insisted he wanted to make sure the Glasgow talks \u201clive up to the expectations of all those people who&#8217;ve so often felt let down by this process\u201d, adding that the UK had \u201ca moral responsibility to lead on climate\u201d as the first country to industrialise.<\/p>\n<p>He added domestic action from the US and Brazil at the sub-national level will be vital in driving ambition. The US will formally leave the Paris Agreement on 4 November \u2013 a day after the US presidential election. A Democrat victory could see the US re-join the deal within a couple of month.<\/p>\n<p>Gove described his aspiration for success at the talks as the acceptance that \u201cthe need to act leads to action that is irreversible, accelerating and inclusive\u201d, insisting that adaptation and resilience, nature-based solutions and greening of financial flows would need to be at the heart of the UK\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n<p>He also suggested making the talks \u201cthe most transparent ever\u201d by livestreaming key meetings in the negotiations, which he said would prevent governments from saying one thing in public sessions and another in private meetings.<\/p>\n<p>UN Climate Change already livestreams all plenary negotiations as well as a number of public meetings and press conferences. But governments and negotiators have long used closed door meetings to make progress and flesh out contentious issues outside the public eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The UK&#8217;s top climate diplomat said the country had been able to do &#8216;a huge amount&#8217;
