The Glasgow Climate Pact from COP26

I. Science and urgency

3. Expresses alarm and utmost concern that […] carbon budgets consistent with achieving the Paris Agreement temperature goal are now small and being rapidly depleted;

IV. Mitigation

22. Recognizes that limiting global warming to 1.5 °C requires rapid, deep and sustained reductions in global GHG emissions, including reducing global carbon dioxide emissions by 45 per cent by 2030 relative to the 2010 level […];

23. Also recognizes that this requires accelerated action in this critical decade, on the basis of the best available scientific knowledge and equity, reflecting common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities in the light of different national circumstances and in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty;

24. Welcomes efforts by Parties to communicate new or updated nationally determined contributions, [...];

25. Notes with serious concern the findings of the synthesis report on nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement, according to which the aggregate greenhouse gas emission level, taking into account implementation of all submitted nationally determined contributions, is estimated to be 13.7 per cent above the 2010 level in 2030;

26. Emphasizes the urgent need for Parties to increase their efforts to collectively reduce emissions through accelerated action and implementation of domestic mitigation measures in accordance with Article 4.2 of the Paris Agreement;

27. Decides to establish a work programme to urgently scale up mitigation ambition and implementation in this critical decade, and requests the Subsidiary Body for Implementation and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice to recommend a draft decision on this matter for consideration and adoption by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement at its fourth session […]

The Glasgow COP26 gave itself a year of grace, until the COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to get up to date with science.
It has taken years to achieve, but finally and for the first time in history, the best and latest scientific knowledge has been included in a COP decision, the Glasgow Climate Pact. Article 22 cited above, incorporates everything that has been published by the IPCC in its SR1.5 report, thus complying with what had been established at the Paris Agreement.
As well as this, article 27 establishes a mandate, a clear line of action for the current year, 2022. This mandate both obliges and allows us to mobilize, so that the Glasgow Climate Pact can be fulfilled in its entirety.
