At COP26, a small group of 'carbon-negative' nations have formed an alliance, signing a declaration calling for international finance, preferential trade, carbon pricing and other measures to support their economies and other 'carbon-negative' nations yet to emerge.

The forests of the thinly populated country of less than a million people absorb more than nine million tonnes of carbon each year, while its economy, designed to reduce fossil fuel use and waste, produces less than 4 tonnes."We are showing the world what we can do if we have the political will," Sonam Wangdi, secretary of the National Environment Commission, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in an interview at the U.N. climate talks in Glasgow.
