British ambassador puts in service "climate tram" No. 13 in Zagreb

Author: Marija Šestan

ZAGREB, Dec 12 (Hina) - British Ambassador Andrew Dalgleish formally put in service the so-called climate tram No.13 in Zagreb on Saturday, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the conclusion of the Paris Climate Agreement.

The tram promoting 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, which will be held in Glasgow next year, will be in operation in the Croatian capital in the next six months.

During the ceremony, the ambassador said that his country was making preparations for the conference in that Scottish city in 2021.

We hope that Glasgow event will bring together world leaders who will make real and concrete promises on greenhouse gas reduction so as to halt dangerous climate change, said the diplomat.

He also pointed out that commuting by tram is an excellent, environmentally-friendly mode of transport.

There is the QR code on the tram leading to the website https://ukcop26.org/ with information on all activities aimed at climate change prevention and on the next year's conference in Glasgow.

The Paris Agreement, a legally binding international treaty on climate change, was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015, and entered into force on 4 November 2016. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels. To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century.

During today's ceremony, the British ambassador welcomed the announcement that US President-elect Joe Biden will reenter the U.S. into the Paris Climate Agreement. The move will ensue after President Donald Trump formally withdrew the USA from the climate change agreement on Nov. 4.
