The last-minute deal reached in Glasgow at COP26 options on a number of entrance pages and is the lead story for the Sunday Instances. The paper says India and China thwarted a United Nations deal to finish the usage of coal energy. The paper’s lead picture is of an emotional Alok Sharma, president of COP26, who apologised to delegates on Saturday for the way in which the late change was made. Slightly than a pledge to speed up the “phase-out” of coal energy, the time period was watered all the way down to “phase-down”. This, the paper notes, lessens the urgency with which nations ought to goal to cut back the usage of coal.
