The United Nations Climate Summit that has lasted the longest of all those held so far, COP25, concludes with the major polluting countries such as the United States, China, India, Japan, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, among others, evading their responsibility to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This position has blocked progress in the climate negotiations in Madrid. Despite demands from the most vulnerable countries, civil society and millions of young people around the world calling for immediate climate action, big polluters have refused to step up efforts to keep global temperatures below 1.5°C. .
