reports.<\/p>\n<p>An initial <a href=\"https:\/\/ukcop26.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Executive-summary-of-our-Carbon-Management-Plan.docx.pdf\">assessment<\/a> from the British government on the climate conference it hosted revealed that the event, which closed on Friday, is on course to have contributed to&nbsp;102,500 tonnes of CO2e emitted into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<figure
