British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said "we asked nations to come together for our planet at COP26, and they have answered that call.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday called the deal struck at the UN COP26 climate change summit "a big step forward" but warned there was "a huge amount more to do".
"There is still a huge amount more to do in the coming years," Johnson said after the Glasgow summit.
"But today's agreement is a big step forward and, critically, we have the first ever international agreement to phase down coal and a roadmap to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees," he added.
Nearly 200 nations came together on the global deal to combat climate change after two weeks of painful negotiation, but fell short of what science says is needed to contain dangerous temperature rises.
