According to Bjerström, there are glimmers of light that are noticed in connection with the meeting, including the development in China – which accounts for a third of all emissions in the world.

– It is a country that underperforms in terms of promises, but overperforms in real terms. We already know that their emissions will start to decrease already in 2024 and not in 2030 as they promised before.
