The Latest on U.N. climate summit COP26 in Glasgow:
GLASGOW, Scotland — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was warmly greeted by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he arrived Monday for the ceremonial opening of this year’s global climate summit.
Modi’s speech was hotly anticipated by delegates hoping to hear new plans for how India, the world’s third-biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, will reduce emissions going forward.
Leaders from major emerging economies including China, Russia and Brazil weren't attending the summit in Glasgow, Scotland. Their absence was interpreted as blow to international efforts to spur more ambitious action against global warming at the Oct. 31-Nov. 12 meeting.
