Date Time
Turning ambition into action for adaptation to effects of climate change ahead of COP26
Good afternoon. And thank you to everyone for joining this event, and to our German friends for co-hosting it.
It is a real pleasure to help to launch this water sector initiative today.
For too long, adaptation has been the poor cousin of mitigation.
And – I can tell you – adaptation is very much a top priority for the UK’s COP26 Presidency.
That is why the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, launched the Adaption Action Coalition earlier this year, with our friends in Egypt, Bangladesh, Malawi, Netherlands and St Lucia.
