In 2021, Canadian glaciers melted rapidly.In some parts of Asia, months' worth of rain fell in just a few hours.Europe saw severe flooding, and Madagascar faced a big drought (干旱).The world is going through a series of weather disasters caused by climate change.
Faced with these serious problems, from Oct.31 to Nov.12, the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP 26) took place in Glasgow, UK.Global leaders from more than 190 countries came together, reviewing progress on their promises made since the 2015 Paris Agreement, and also discussing new steps to fight against the climate crisis.
The main aim of COP 26 was to make sure that previous goals could be reached.They include achieving net zero carbon emissions(碳排放)globally by midcentury and keeping the global temperature increase below 2 ℃.
Net zero means that a country should take as much climatechanging gases out of the atmosphere as it puts in.China, for example, promised to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and reach net zero before 2060.
To reach these goals, all parties need to work together.At COP 26, developed countries agreed to raise $500 billion (about 3.185 trillion yuan) over the next five years to help developing regions with climate change.More than 100 nations reached some agreements, one of which is to stop deforestation and restore the world's forests by 2030.Brazil has cut down huge amounts of the Amazon rainforest in recent years.The country also backed the deal.

According to the World Economic Forum(WEF), eight million tons of plastic waste is being poured out into the oceans every year.That's the equivalent(相等物)of an entire garbage truck being dumped every three minutes, and the source of the problem—the world's cities.In Amsterdam, a simple solution has been found that could stop up to 86 percent of plastic waste ever reaching the oceans—a barrier made of bubbles(气泡).
The way the bubble barrier system works is basically that it is a tube placed diagonally(沿对角线地)on the bottom of the waterway.“The tube has a lot of tiny holes,” according to Phillip Ehrhorn, Chief Technology Officer in The Great Bubble Barrier,“We pump air through it, and the air bubbles will rise towards the surface.The plastics are brought to the surface with the air bubbles and then, with the natural flow of the river, towards one side of the river.” Then the other part of the bubble barrier system collects and removes the waste.
“Ship traffic is a key economic driver; we won't be able to stop that.So, we would have to find a solution which would not affect all the other existing activities and the ecosystem,” Phillip added.The bubble barrier does exactly that .While it provides no block to water traffic and sea life can pass through freely, it also catches plastic waste of all sizes.
The Great Bubble Barrier is trying to work together with Amsterdam and local Nongovernmental Organizations(NGOs)to evaluate what the bubble barrier system is catching so as to carry out new policies and additional measures on land.In this way, plastics entering the water could be reduced in the first place.“Our next step is a bubble barrier within Europe and we, of course, want to move to Asia because we think we can make a lot of influence there,” said Francis Zoet, the founder of The Great Bubble Barrier.
