(MENAFN) UK’s climate chief stated in a harsh speech, the promises which were made during the Cop26 summit on climate change will stay “just words on a page” if nations don’t actually apply them.
In his initial speech since the Glasgow meeting in November 2021, Alok Sharma will encourage the 200 nations that inked the Glasgow Climate Pact to take necessary action to guarantee temperatures going over 1.5°C “do not slip from our grasp”.
On Monday, Mr Sharma will state, “There is no doubt that the commitments we secured at Cop26 were historic,” adding “yet at the moment they are just words on a page and unless we honour the promises made, to turn the commitments in the Glasgow Climate Pact into action, they will wither on the vine.”
“We will have mitigated no risks. Seized no opportunities. We will have fractured the trust built between nations. And 1.5 degrees will slip from our grasp.”
