Good afternoon.
And it will take the world to address it.
Last week saw the publication of the initial NDC synthesis report, which shows that national governments must urgently do more to reduce emissions.
And while we are committed to a positive outcome to the COP26 negotiations, we recognise that, ultimately, addressing the climate crisis requires more than national governments.
It requires cities and regions, business and civil society to unite behind the Paris Agreement.
And it requires us to work together.
That is why enhancing collaboration, internationally and across society, is a central theme of the UK’s COP26 Presidency.

From:
Thank you so much.
Friends, ladies, gentlemen, honourable guests.
Good afternoon from Nigeria. I’ve been here over the past twenty-four hours and I’ve had a range of productive meetings with the Vice President, other government ministers, and civil society on our shared need to act urgently to tackle climate change.
And it is an absolute pleasure to be joining you today and a very great thanks to my friend Dr Mathur for inviting me to participate in this very important summit.
