Big praise to the United Nations and COP26 for facilitating one of the biggest climate deals in Glasgow! It's only been one day and there has already been a monumental agreement made by 100 world leaders to completely end Deforestation by the year 2030. Brazil, the country that is home to the Amazon Rainforest, is one of the signatories that will make the agreement today, but others include Canada, China, Russia and Indonesia. The total number of signing countries account for 85% of the forested regions of the world collectively, so it's a promising step in the right direction as it both reaffirms the agreements made in Paris 2015, and sets clear targets for new countries that have joined. Boris Johnson, British PM, called the deal a "landmark agreement to protect and restore the Earth's forests". A significant sum has been assigned to developing countries that have signed, to help subsidize their restoration efforts, restore areas damaged by wildfires, and support indigenous communities within these forested zones. Additionally, more than 30 of the world's biggest financial companies - such as Aviva, Schroders and Axa - will also commit to ending investment in projects that contribute to deforestation, too. So, this isn't just a deal that holds countries accountable, but international organizations that contribute to the problem, as well.
