Sense of hope. i think everyone who is here now over the next few days are committed to making a real change. the question is, how much of those words and commitments are going to translate into real—world action and change? because we have failed before, set some ambitious targets and that has not worked out. we need to work out the details our leaders provide us with and after that we will be able to judge whether or not this is a reasonable step change in what we need to see now. ~ step cha...

Has been traumatized. a lot of people who will risk their jobs and run for office saying we must not require people to get vaccines. its the strangest thing ive ever seen. >> it is. as you point out, it is playing out right before our eyes. errol, thanks. >> thank you. coming up next, president biden will be wrapping up his trip overseas. the new commitments he has made to fight climate change. and heres what else to watch today.

About what some of these financial commitments is its a bit like somebody saying i have had a salad for lunch, then eating ten burgers in the afternoon and telling the world they are on a diet. you have really got to belt, you have got to cut fossil fields and build renewables at the same time. you have outed — renewables at the same time. you have outed me _ renewables at the same time. you have outed me on _ renewables at the same time. you have outed me on my television. thank you very much...

Would also be that of the richer countries still cant find a way to committed $100 million per yearfrom 2020 onwards, in terms of helping countries like india to bring in that private investment, then what can they expect? of course, thats a very valid point, and it kind of shows, we have seen in the last few years how little they have contributed, in fact its countries like india that are contributing to world stability by sending out vaccines and so on, and on the other hand i think the richer...

News conference. phil, dana bash, david gurgen, but, phil, you there were at the news conference. he called on you first. what was your major impression from what we heard? >> i think from the u.s. side of things from the presidents side of things they feel despite maybe some low expectations heading into cop26. the u.s. involvement, u.s. leadership and u.s. ambitions they brought into this conference enabled them to come out and secure significant commitments. i think that was something u.s. of...

2025, that were committing to climate funds, japan announced a few hours ago another $10 billion over the next five years. a big commitment from japan. the reality is that the developed world will still be linked in meeting the target, and its really in that so many countries have embraced net zero this week, but we will keep working with all the leaders around the world to get them there sooner, to accelerate their timetable. weve now predicted 85%. weve got measures to protect 85% of the world...

Forests, and were continuing to engage with china and were seeing some signs of progress. do we want more? thats absolutely true. we want more from everybody. do you want more from everybody. do you want to go to forest? i think that we need china to make commitments, china has already made a substantial commitment to move to net zero by the middle of the century, 2060 or before, as xi jinping says. lets see where we get to with china and peeking by pre—2030, lets see what that adds up pre—2...

Reality check correspondence chris morris. what do you make of this statement, there has been a lot of reaction talking about a previous deal to end deforestation in 2014 that has not come to fruition, do we know what went wrong with that? people kept cutting trees down, basically. there was a un strategic plan for forests in 2017 which set a series of goals for 2030, so reaching an agreement does nothing on its own, but the timing, the nature of the event, the high—level political involvement...

Deeply hamstrung by the fact that joe biden arrived hobbled diplomatically because nobody can tell what will happen with these two big infrastructure and build back better bills that are meandering their way through congress with a lot of opposition -- modest opposition from a couple of key players in the presidents own party. that is -- we were just talking in the previous segment about that. that is still completely up in the air with even the powerful speaker, who has always been able to pred...

Criticism he has coming for there must, nonetheless, be at the back of your mind the anxiety as to how genuine these commitments will prove to be. absolutely. but now that it is in the public domain it is up to the leaders to deliver, it is up to the public to put the political pressure to ensure that we keep our commitments. it is up there, it is now a done deal, 100 leaders, 85% of forest, something that is historic and we have not seen this kind of breakthrough in a generation. i think there ...
