It is widely believed that there is academic literature addressing the United Nations Climate Summit, but there is no systematic review and analysis of research on COP26 and its objectives under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This article describes a qualitative meta-synthesis of research on COP26 that examines the extent to which evidence exists for changes in reducing greenhouse gases as a core objective of the UNFCCC. A systematic analysis and synthesis of various studies have shown that Article 6.2 (not lapsed) has undergone a significant change in relation to the core objective of the UNFCCC under the market-based approach. Several studies have found that Article 6.4 (lapsed) has hardly changed under a marketbased approach. The results for Article 6.8 under non-market-based approaches (lapsed) were similar, although COP26 did not have the opportunity to provide “Just Change Evidence”. The article concludes by identifying gaps in scientific research and suggesting additional scientific work to increase the availability of evidence for non-market approaches.
