Dear
Colleagues,
We are nine months away from COP26, a
critical milestone in our efforts to avert climate
catastrophe.
I am pleased that the incoming COP
President is here to discuss with you the road to
Glasgow.
The past year has seen welcome
progress.
I thank those who showed leadership by
announcing bold new commitments at the Climate Ambition
Summit I convened with the Prime Minister of the United
Kingdom and the President of France in
December.
Countries representing 70 per cent of the
world economy and 65 per cent of global carbon dioxide
emissions have now committed to net zero.
