In 2022, they want to test the use of a high-altitude balloon to release dust to dim sunlight—a technique that may, at this rate, be needed to buy the world more time to decarbonise.

I want to believe that the achievements made by the DPRK in dealing with global health crisis and disastrous climate change will make a positive contribution to the efforts of the international community to recover from COVID-19 and build sustainablesocio-economic resilience.

At the present time, it is the core policy of the DPRK government to cope with the global health crisis andclimate change with a foresighted plan

The principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, equity and respective capabilities should be at the center of the climate agenda to ensure climate justice.

Nepal is at the sharp end of climate change despite its negligible share in greenhouse gas emissions. On our part, we reiterate our commitment to delivering climate-resilient development pathways by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050.

Our acute susceptibility to climate change stems from our inherently complex structural vulnerabilities as Small Island Developing States that trap us in a mire of compounding risks; sentencing us to a cyclical struggle of recovery, rebuilding and redevelopment.

We hope that COP 26 will agree to complete the outstanding issues and to fully operationalise the Paris Agreement on a scale that will support cooperation on mitigation, adaptation and compliance.

It is therefore Mr. President, our moral responsibility to ensure the full and effective implementation of the Paris Agreement through credible, concrete, enhanced commitments. The commitment made by developed countries to mobilize one hundred billion dollars annually to support mitigation and adaptation in developing countries must be met.

But Iceland’s main contribution in the fight against climate change will continue to be our knowledge and experience in the use of green energy solutions. This is a global crisis, and we must rely on each other’s expertise and knowledge.

Mr.president, climate action stands out among the sustainable development goals reflected in the 2030 Agenda, the biggest standard setting agreement of the United Nations in its recent history

Theupcoming COP26 in Glasgow is the ultimate test for our collective resolve.I sincerely hope that we will be able to pass it together.

We are heartened by the return to a comprehensive multilateralist approach evidenced by the enhanced support for the Paris climate agreement.

We are also committed to working with partners in new areas such as green finance and clean energy solutions.26. And we look forward to substantive outcomes at the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow

For small island nations like Singapore, climate change remains a clear and present danger.

The targets under the environment and sustainable development agenda are overdue and can no more be overtaken by events

Global-warmingis the most alarmingdriver of poverty.Agrarian and pastoralist communities and economies like ours with these livelihoodsface an existential challenge

As an ocean locked state, Solomon Islands remainscommitted to negotiating a legally binding instrument on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction underthe UN Convention on the Law of the Sea

The devastating impact ofplastic pollution onour fragile marine ecosystemsdemands a global binding agreementto reduce plastic pollution in our oceans. We support the establishment of such an Agreement

COP26 in Glasgow to be held inNovember this year, presentsan opportunityfor the world tooperationalize the Paris Agreement, and concludenegotiationson the Paris Rulebook.

Climate Change as the ‘single greatest threat’to our people and to the planet.It is a global issue that needs a global solution

As a Small Islands Developing State,Solomon Islands continues to battle with the incremental effects of climate change and its negative impacts that threaten the livelihoods, security,and wellbeingof our people.

Climate change and climate-related eventscontinue to threaten the existence of Small Island Development Statessuch as ours.

Belize, like other SIDS, is on the frontline of a climate crisis for which we are not responsible. Belize incurs annual losses of close to 4 percent of GDP due to natural disasters. Therefore, we felt an obligation to put forward an ambitious revised Nationally Determined Contribution.

The Common Framework and Debt Service Suspension Initiative failed to offer forbearance to most middle-income SIDS, including Belize, who were ineligible despite our debt unsustainability. At the same time, most of our countries had no recourse to concessionary financing to fund the immediate health response.

For a small island andlow-lying coastal State like Belize, which three days ago celebrated forty years of political Independence, the world today is hostile and precarious. No one can deny that the planet is getting hotter.

As the science and the research haveshown, wemustalso see the oceansasplayinga vital role as a climate mitigator. Wesupport the development of a legallybindinginternational instrument on the conservation and sustainable useof marine biological diversity

In their effortstocombat these changes,SIDShave been unableto access climate finance at the pace and scale necessary.

Denmark will respond to the call of the Secretary-General. And massively scale up Danish grant-based climate finance to at least 500 million USD a year by 2023. And we are dedicating 60 percent to adaptation in poor and vulnerable countries. In addition, we are strengthening our efforts to mobilize public and private finance from other sources.

We must continue our path towards a green future. And we mustdo it faster.We need to keep the Paris Agreement goal alive. Limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees. Climate change hits the world’s poorest and weakest communities hardest.

We are strongly committed to the implementation of the sustainable development goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. We are committed to global efforts and will continue to work actively to meet our obligations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The continuation of the Corona p andemic, and its excessive p lundering of the gains achieved by states, to reach the sustainable develop ment goals, have shown the extent of intermeshing and interconnect between the various dimensions of sustainability, whereby the issue of climate change and the ecological systems associated with it, were not isolated from global imp act waves

wo, adequate financing must be made available to developing countries. This can be ensured through comprehensive debt restructuring; expanded ODA; redistribution of unutilized SDRs, and allotment of a greater proportion of SDRs to developing countries; and finally,provision of climate finance

Pakistan’s contribution to global emissions is negligible. Yet we are among the 10 most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate changein the world.

Je pense notamment au transfert destechnologies «propres» et à l’amélioration de l’accès des peuples aux énergies renouvelables, afin d’accélérer leur passage à une industrie décarbonée, respectueuse de l’environnement.

Le lien entre changement climatique et insécurité me parait ainsi évident. Comme vous le savez, le Gabon a toujours eu un engagementen faveur de la paixet de la sécurité climatique. Cet engagementrestera entier tout au long du mandat de mon paysen qualité de Membre non Permanent du Conseil de Sécurité des Nations Unies,pour la période 2022-2023.En me réjouissant de la confiance de la Communauté internationale, je voudrais ici réitérerma ferme volonté d’œuvrer sans ménagement, dans la dynamique de faire taire les armes en tous lieux et d’inscrire résolument notre action dans la recherche permanente d’un consensus global, faisant prévaloir la sécurité, la dignitéet la prospéritédes peuples du monde

Pour rappel, son objectif est de réduire de moitié les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et de préserver la biodiversité, tout en favorisant les investissementsdans les infrastructuresvertes des pays en développement afin de stimuler et décarboner leurs économies.En effet, les conséquences du dérèglement climatique, notamment la hausse du niveau de la mer, les tremblements de terre, les feux de forêts récurrents, mettent nos sociétéset nos communautés sous pressionet doivent nous interpeller sur l’urgence à agir collectivement

Dans cette perspective, Ie Tchad réitére l'appel maintes fois lancé par les pays membres du G—5 Sahel, relatif â I'annuIation de la dette de ces pays durement frappés par Ie terrorisme et Ie changement climatique, en sus de COVID—19 et de la pauvreté ambiante

ompared to the Covid-19 pandemic, which burst into our lives like an explosion, it is like a slow burning, smouldering fire, creeping up on us. | am talking about climate change.

The impacts of climate change on peace and securityare becoming increasingly apparent. A systematic integration of these risks into the UN Security Council’s work is necessary

As regards the global climate action, the COP 26 in Glasgow will be crucial and our nationally determined contributions need to be ambitious. We also need all major emitters on board.

he 2030 Agendafor Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreementon Climate Change constitute the centrepiece of our joint efforts. The nexus of humanitarian, development and peace activities has proved efficient.

e hope that the “Roundtable on Climate” promoted last Monday by Secretary-General Guterres and Prime Minister Johnson will give further impetus to the negotiations that will takeus to the G20 Summit in Rome and to the COP26 in Glasgow

The fight againstclimate change requires multilateral engagement and pragmatic cooperation among all major global players -both rich and emerging economies.We must act in an effective, coordinated and simultaneousmanner, whilst alwaysrespectingnational specificities.We intend to reacha global agreement to stop the use of coal as soon as possible, and, consistently with this objective, block the financing of newprojectsof this kind.We want to eliminate subsidiesfor fossil fuels and promote the use ofrenewable sources

As Presidency of the G20 and COP26 co-chair together with the United Kingdom, Italy intends toreachambitious goals on the three pillars of the Paris agreement:mitigation, adaptation and finance

Lesotho intends to unconditionally lower her net greenhouse gas emissions by 10% by 2030 and to further push for an additional 25% greenhouse gas emission reduction, provided that external support including capacity building is made available to us to cover the full cost of implementing the adaptation and mitigation actions.

ndeed, this greatest challenge of our time which has a pronounced severe negative impact on African least developed countries manifested through droughts, excessive rainfall, desertification, hurricanes, land degradation and soforth thus diminishing our capability to eradicate poverty and improve livelihoods.

In the light of the upcoming COP26, Seychelles calls on the international community, particularly the larger emitters and economies of the G20, to increase their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to a level that meets, if not surpasses the requirements of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report and averts the global catastrophe that threatens all of us

We are morally obligated to those who have lost their lives to the calamitous climate and biodiversity crises. We are accountable to those who face constant existential threats. And we owe it to future generations to find lasting solutions to protect this planet

Furthermore, SIDS continue to be disproportionatelyaffected by what can be best termed as environmental injustice as a result of climate change. We are the least responsible for it, yet we pay the heaviest tribute

We are witnessing the growingclimate and environmental crisis. Recently in Geneva, the High Commissioner for Human Rights presented very concerning findings about global human rights situation in the context of the environment. Climate change, pollution and loss of biodiversity will constitute by far the most serious challenge for human rights in our era, said the High Commissionaire. In that,she clearly recognized human activity as one of the factorsand the lack of proper activitiesas another. Full implementation of 2030 Agenda and Paris Climate Agreement are crucial for better recovery from the pandemic and preparation of the world for future systemic shocks. That is why it is particularly important that in preparations for the Summit and Conference in Glasgow in November this year, all countries mobilise an additional level of ambition for achieving long-term goals for reducing global warming. Although its share in the global emissions is tiny, in December 2020 Montenegro additionally increased its climate ambition,confirming thus the strong and persistent commitment to adequate treatment of climate challenges. We expect that further activitieson the national level will open the space for new and more ambitious breakthroughs. That is why it is exceptionally important to integrate the components of action thatwill be based on human rights, both when new climate ambitions are set, and when new global biodiversity framework is defined

Yet, our countries are among the lowest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing the least to the harmful and destructive effects of Climate Change.This is not only unfair; it is unjust

Mr President, we hold out similar hope that the world’s worst emitters of greenhouse gases that are threatening the welfare of all mankind, will also come to the realization that in the end it will profit them little to emerge king over a world of dust

Belatedly, the rich have come to the realization thaton our one Earth,they need the cooperation of the poor to save themselves

COP26must therefore launch a formal programme of work on the implementation of the Global Goal on Adaptation

It was the UK government that set the strike price for the private sector to come in and transform our country into the Saudi Arabia of wind,and only yesterday the UK’s first sovereign green bond raised £10 billion on the markets,from hard-headed investors who want to make money.And these investments will not only help the countries of the world to tackle climate change:they will produce millions and millions of high wage, high skill jobs,and today’s workforce and the next generation will have the extra satisfaction of knowing that they are not only doing something useful-such as providing clean energy -but helping to save the planet at the same time.And every day green start-ups are producing new ideas,from feeding seaweed to cows to restrain their traditional signs of digestive approval

And that’s why two years ago I committed that the UK would provide £11.6 billion to help the rest of the world to tackle climate changeand in spite of all the pressures on finances caused by Covid, we have kept that promise to the letter.And I am so pleased and encouraged by some of the pledges we have heard here at UNGA,including from Denmark, and now a very substantial commitment from the US that brings us within touching distance of the $100 billion pledge.

we need to restore the natural balance,we need to halt and reverse the loss of trees and biodiversity by 2030,and that is why we in the UK are committed to beautifying the landscape,

But the market in EVs in the UK is now growing at an extraordinary pace -maybe two thirds every year -and Nissan is sufficiently confident to invest £1 billion in a new EV factory and a gigafactory for the batteries. And that is because we have set a hard deadline for the sale of new hydrocarbon ICEs of 2030and again we call on the world to come together to drive this market so that by 2040there are only zero emission vehicles on sale anywhere in the world.And you can make these cuts in pollution while driving jobs and growth:

When I was a kid we produced almost 80 per cent of our electricity from coal;that is now down to two per cent or lessand will be gone altogether by 2024.We have put in great forests of beautiful wind turbines on the drowned prairies of Doggerland beneath the North Sea.In factwe produce so much offshore wind that I am thinking of changing my name to Boreas Johnson in honour of the North Wind.And I know that we are ambitious in asking the developing world to end the use of coal power by 2040and for the developed world to do so by 2030,but the experience of the UK shows that it can be doneand I thank President Xi for what he has done to end China’s international financing of coal and I hope China will now go further and phase out the domestic use of coal as well

6adding to the budget of carbon in the atmosphere,no longer thickening that invisible quilt that is warming the planet,and it is fantastic that we now have countries representing 70 per cent of the world’s GDP committed to this objective.But if we are to stave off these hikes in temperature we must go further and faster –we need all countries to step up andcommit to very substantial reductions by 2030 -and I passionately believe that we can do it by making commitments in four areas –coal, cars, cash and trees.I am not one of those environmentalists who takes a moral pleasure in excoriating humanity for its excess.I don’t see the green movement as a pretext for a wholesale assault on capitalism.

And we are not talking about stopping the rise in temperatures -it is alas too late for that -but to restrain that growth, as I say, to 1.5 degrees.And that means we need to pledge collectively to achieve carbon neutrality –net zero –by the middle of the century.And that will be an amazing momentif we can do itbecause it will mean that for the first time in centuries humanity is no longer

And if we keep on the current track then the temperatures will go up by 2.7 degrees or more by the end of the century.And never mind what that will do to the ice floes:we will see desertification, drought, crop failure, and mass movements of humanity on a scale not seen before,not because of some unforeseen natural event or disasterbut because of us,because of what we are doing now.

We must limit the rise in temperatures –whose appalling effects were visible even this summer –to 1.5 degrees.We must come together in a collective coming of age. We must show we have the maturity and wisdom to act. And we can.Even in this feckless youth we have harnessed clean energy from wind and wave and sun.We have released energy from within the atom itselfand from hydrogen, and we have found ways to store that energy in increasingly capacious batteries and even in molten salt.We have the tools for a green industrial revolution

And that is why the Glasgow COP26 summit is the turning point for humanity.

l'élévation du niveau de la mer, les températures extrêmes, les inondations et même l'invasion des criquets pèlerins pour ne citer que ceux-là, nous avons l'impérieuse obligation de repenser nos actions. Bien que l'Accord de Paris eût constitué une réalisation historique, nous nous devons de reconnaitre que les efforts consentis ne sont pas à la hauteur des espoirs nés à la suite de la COP21. En raison de leur vulnérabilité climatique, la communauté internationale doit accompagner les pays en voie de développement afin qu'il puisse bénéficier du transfert de technologie, de l'expertise mais également des financements appropriés.

Nous devons agir et le fairemaintenant. C’est pourquoi mon pays encourage les Gouvernements, les entreprises, les villes et toutes les institutions financièresà adhérer à la coalition mondiale pour parvenir à la neutralitécarbone. Nous nous réjouissons également que dans la perspective de la COP26 à Glasgow,en Ecosse, les pays représentant plus de 65 % des émissions mondiales de carbone aient pris des engagements ambitieux en la matièreet appelons les autresà les rejoindre.

L’urgence du moment n’est pas que sanitaire, elle est aussi environnementale. Le climat présente actuellement des symptômes alarmants.Le changement climatique représente le plus grand défi auquel l’humanité est confrontée depuis ces dernières décennies. La menace que fait peser le réchauffement global sur les sociétés humaines et les écosystèmes est croissante. Les effets désastreux du changement climatique sur tous les continentssont prégnants, notamment la fonte des glaciers, les ouragans, l’élévation du niveau de la mer et les sécheressesqui favorisent des feux sur des régionsentières, plongeant nos populations dans une vulnérabilité profonde

We have anopportunity to dothings right: We must align our efforts with our roadmap, the 2030 Agenda. We must invest in the green transition. We mustinvest in people, women and girls in particular. And we must fulfil the promiseofthe SDGs, to leave no one behind

The Ocean Panel members have made a commitmentto sustainably manage all of their ocean areas by 2025. That isone third of the world ́s exclusive economic zones.This is a bold target. But our ambition is even bolder:We call on all ocean and coastal states to make a similar commitment by2030.

Together, we will work to limit temperature increase to 1.5 degrees, in line with the goal of the Paris Agreement.

Because ecological transition entails radical changes that will have a very directimpact on people,on their jobs, andon consumer habits. This is why we are not only leading a Just Recovery project to overcome the economic crisis. We are also committed to a just transition. This commitment stems from our absolute conviction that this is the most effective way of achieving new levels ofprogress and wellbeing.

By 2030, 74% of the electricity we generate,and 42% of the total energy we consume, will come from renewable sources. And we have just recently approvedan ambitious ClimateChangeand Energy Transition Act

It is also the time for us to agree on a new world framework for the protection ofbiodiversity that goes beyond the goals set for 2020. In this regard, I would like tomention that this year is the 30thanniversary of the Madrid Protocol on Environmental Protection of the Antarctic Treaty. This Protocol represented a major step forward in protecting the Antarcticenvironment and its dependent ecosystems.

One of the main challenges of COP26 is to step up our ambition in terms of climatefinancing and, in particular, in terms of adaptation. We must honour the commitments adopted on the basis of the Paris Agreement and significantly raise the bar for futurecommitments. Spain will contribute to this goal by allocating 30 million euros tothe Adaptation Fund in 2022, and we will work to ensure the success of the GlasgowCOP26.

I am proud to saythat Spain and the European Union are leading by example, and represent the bloc of countries with the most ambitious Nationally DeterminedContributions.

We place great hope in the regional “C5+” dialogue frameworks with major extra-regional actors. In such partnerships, we emphasize Central Asia’s water-related challenges, including water scarcity, degrading quality and inefficient use. Our region’s water security is inextricably linked with energy, food and environment

In response, Kazakhstan intends to achievecarbon neutrality by 2060.We are launching a national 2050 low carbon development strategynext month to reduce GDP energy intensity by 50% from 2008 levels

I will focus today first and foremost on the triple threatwe face together: COVID-19 recovery; the Climate crisis; and the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.

he problem of climate change is an irrefutable reality. While it is felt more frequently and with greater impact in Small Island Developing States (SIDS), which include Guinea-Bissau, itisa permanent challenge for all nations. Therefore, our country has developed Climate Change Adaptation plans for the medium and long term and extended our national land and marine protected area system to cover more than 26% of our national territory.

The Dominican Republic, as a Small Island Developing State, is one of the countries that emits the least greenhouse gases but is most affected by climate change.Now is the time to promote a global transformation of the economy in line with the levels of development so that the required standards do not impose excessive burdens that result in additional costs detrimental to competitiveness and the production of our goods and services

We have a historical responsibility to leave a better world than the one we find, but this is only possible if we take seriously the global transition towards a new ecological, sustainable, inclusive and equitable production model, in line with the sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda.

ndeed, in the face of the pandemic, the climate emergency, the technological revolution and the need to articulate a new paradigm for the welfare state, it is necessary to strengthen unity and cooperation among all nations.

he climate financing gap remains a key challenge to implementing our mitigation and adaptation measures accordingly syrian joins other least developing countries developed countries in calling for a green climate fund to meet the 100 billion dollars target to support the mitigation and adaptation plans of developing countries

syrian is committed to all global climate action commitments and looks forward to participating in the upcoming un climate change conference in glasgow and in the 15th meeting of the conference of parties of the united nations convention on biological diversity

call among other equally important global matters for prioritizing covet 19 response vaccine access equity tackling poverty and inequality the impact of climate change and promoting gender equality human rights protection and promotion

climate changehas become crucial than ever before. Harsh weather conditions, sea level rise, environmental pollution, and biodiversity degradation are the cumulativeconsequencesof decades of mankind’s reckless quest for development. Those challenges are pushing us into acting promptly to safeguard our planet and realizethe internationally agreed threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius.As weareheading toward the COP-26 Summit, we need to make every effortto cut greenhouse gas emissions, in which developed countriesshould take the lead. Moreover, developing countries should receive further assistance in financing, technologies and capacity-building so as to reduce emissions,and enhance disaster prevention and mitigationin ways that fostertransition towards green and circular economy. This is a shared opportunity for us to ensure the harmony between man and green nature.

LOS FONDOS VERDES PARA EL CLIMA NO LLEGAN COMO DEBERÍAN HACERLO Y ESTO SOLO PUEDE HACERSE CON UNA VERDADERA VOLUNTAD POLÍTICA.SEÑORES HACE TIEMPO TENÍAMOS QUE ACTUAR Y NO TERMINAMOS DE ENTENDERLO.EN MÉXICO PROPUSE LA CREACIÓN DE UN CENTRO DE PREVISIÓN DEL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO.DEMANDAMOS QUE LOS PAÍSES INDUSTRIALIZADOS CUMPLAN CON SUS COMPROMISOS A TRAVÉS DE LOS FONDOS VERDES, QUE SE ACABE LA BUROCRACIA Y SE ATIENDA LA MITIGACIÓN, ADAPTACIÓN Y EMERGENCIA DE LOS PAÍSES QUE SOMOS AFECTADOS

Guatemala, ha sido golpeada por los efectos del cambio climático, ante esta dura realidad en el seno de esta Asamblea, solicito que el área Centro Americana sea reconocida como una Región altamente vulnerable al impacto de pérdidas y daños que imponen los desastres naturales y la necesidad de optar a financiamiento climático ágil y de calidad, así como también, en el otorgamiento de los accesos a seguros paramétricos que nos ayuden a la recontrucción de la infraestructura a la que nos vemos obligados ario con ario. Este es un llamado a la comprensión y solidaridad de los países industrializados, que son los grandes responsables del cambio climático y cuyas consecuencias repercuten negativamente en la

región, a pesar de ser nosotros una fuente importante de contribución a la absorción de las descargas de carbono gracias a la capacidad de nuestras masas forestales. Los efectos desastrosos pueden mitigarse si contáramos con su colaboración y aportes, que se traducirían en un compensador social, reflejándose indudablemente, en el mejoramiento de los indices de • desarrollo humano. Tengan la seguridad que visibilizaremos esta vulnerabilidad con acciones concretas durante la VIGÉSIMO SEXTA (26a) Conferencia de las Partes de la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas Sobre Cambio Climático.

Sumado a ello, somos testigos de los embates del cambio climático en el mundo, que han exacerbado los fenómenos meteorológicos, cuyos efectos desastrosos, se tradujeron en pérdidas humanas, así como daños en la agricultura e infraestructura de grandes dimensiones.

Well, it’s time to show that leadership. Fulfil Your Pledge. Mind you, this is not a donation. This is a cleaning fee, because if you pollute the planet we all call home, it is only right that you should pay to clean it up. So Fulfil Your Pledge. No ifs, no buts, no ands.

Hemos dicho en los organismos encargados del cambio climáticoque es urgente una respuesta práctica,verificable de la actuación contra los gases de efecto invernadero,contra el calentamiento global de mares,de ambiente, contra todos los fenómenos de distorsión y desastre del cambio climático. Hacenfalta medidas de acción,verificablesy eficaces que detengan la aceleración de los procesos de deterioro del equilibrio ecológico del planeta Tierra. Ya hemos visto estos años que han pasado,ya hemos visto recientemente en esta ciudad sede de la Naciones Unidas,New York,grandes inundaciones;hemos visto simultáneo incendios e inundaciones en la India,en China,en New York,en España,en Venezuela,grandes sequías en el sur de Suramérica, la sequía total del río Paraná nunca vista en la historia. Nos obligan a exigirde los gobiernos con poder en el mundo acciones eficaces,efectivas que reduzcan el calentamiento global,que reduzcan la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero y que le den esperanza al mundo ante una situación verdaderamente preocupante y trágica para muchos en el planeta Tierra.

I urge you,myfellow leaders,to increaseand renewyourrespective contributionsand pledgeson fostering green development, reducing Greenhouse gas emissionsand developingenvironmentally friendly society and economy.

butnottowardsthe mother naturewhichhas led to the current environmentaland ecological disasters.During the pandemic lockdown,we witnessed certain signs of natural self-recovery, at least for a short period of time, such asquickrecovery of the ozone layer, reduction of air pollution, purification of rivers and waters and revival of the fauna and flora. This is the showcase that we need to change the behaviorand attitudeof humanitytoward the nature and make tangible efforts to induce positive results.This also evidenced by the fact that the frequency and scopeof wildfires, hurricanes, floods, droughts and dzuds are increasing every year, causing devastating damages in all corners of the world.From ancient times, we, Mongolians, have honoredthe eternal blue sky as “father” and the land as “mother”,worshipped the surrounding mountainsand waters with deep love and respect and been recharged by their vitalenergy. Our ancestors thoroughly followed and delicately discovered thenature’s demeanor in a way that allowed them to process and use animal-derived productsand foodinbothenvironmentally-and human health-friendly ways. Weused the earth’s blessings such astrees, water, animal and other natural resources,only according to ourown orhousehold needs, and saving resources for thenext generations. The natural self-recoveryreminds me of the nomadic know-how of leaving the pastureland “fallow” or “leaving the pastureland for rest”. This is a Mongolian herders’wisdom to offer tothemotherland an opportunity to rest a while and to recover and revive itself. In our fight against climate change, let us draw lessons from the Mongolian traditional “nomadic civilization” to treatand regardthe nature respectfullyand combine itwith achievementsof modern science and technology as well as best practicesand traditional experiencesfrom all over the world. Desertificationthat isthreateningthe livelihoods of more than two billion people in the worldand the sandstorm originating from Mongolia are becoming major problemsfor us.Currently,a big portionof Mongolianterritory is affected by desertification or land degradation to certain degree. Main reasons are 2.2C increase of the mean temperatureand7 percent decline in annual precipitation level for the last 80 plus years.The most efficient wayto reverse desertification isplantingtrees. We, Mongolians, ponderthat planting trees, writing books and raising childrenare the three superior deeds. Hence, we have launched a campaign toplant billions of trees by 2030 from this podium of the General Assembly in order tocontribute to the global fight against climate change.Climate change and ecosystem degradationpose a real threat to the future of humankind irrespective of borders or ethnicity. Conscious of this critical turning point, the countries aroundthe globehave decided to gather in Glasgow in November for the COP26(Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change).

Climate change is having a devastating effect for the past decades.Proper diagnosis of the causes is key to overcome its harmful effects. One of the causes of adverse climate change is oblivioushuman activity. It is the result of our own careless behavior toward the nature and environment. Humanshave been largely debating overethical conduct towardseach other,

thegreen middle east initiativethe cyclical carbon economy initiative

Third, Indonesia’s commitment toward climate resilience, low carbon developmentand green technology is firm and clear.However, energy and technology transformation process must facilitate the participation of developing countries in development of industries and become technology producers

COP 26, therefore, should result in ambitious and actionable commitments.•Suriname calls on developed countries, to recommit to the 100 billion US dollars per year, to support developing countries, as agreed in the 2015 Paris Agreement.•In this regard, I stress the importance of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO) and the need, to support its activities, aimed at protecting the Amazon rainforestand its biodiversity

In the case of my country, Suriname, and the countries, with low-lying coastal areas, we are committed, to fighting climate change, because we are particularly vulnerable, even though, we have contributed, the least, to this problem. •Suriname is a High Forest, Low Deforestation country, with a forest coverage of approx. 93%. •Suriname significantly contributes, to the mitigation of the effects of climate change. •We are one, of the few carbons negative rating countries, in the world

Second, climate change – another major challenge we are all faced with. We live through itsconsequences as we speak - extreme weather, record-high temperatures, floods affectingevery country.For the Republic of Moldova, climate change means severe droughts every few years, floods,ruined crops and livelihoods of people.The footprint of the Republic of Moldova for climate change has been low, and we arecommitted to keeping it this way. As we seek to modernize our economy, we pledge to do soin a sustainable way. Expanding our forests, transitioning to a green and circular economy,promoting clean energy, preserving water and land resources, promoting responsible andsustainable production and consumption is our way forward

Climate change remains the greatest threat to the seculity and well-being of our region- especially to low-l/ng atoll nations like my own. We simply have no higher ground tocede. The tireless leadership of small island developing states, and wider circles ofpartners, makes clear that an overwhelming global majority demands the ParisAgreement must be delivered in actions, not empty words. This year's Conference ofParties to the UNFCCC offers a vital opportunity for the world to make good on thepromises of the Paris Agreement to raise ambition. We remain in support of the UnitedKingdom's leadership as host, no matter the challenges posed by the global pandemic.We have put forward our own commitment for stronger action - both on our own nationalcommitments on emissions and adaptation, as well as expectations for meaningfulleadership by the international maritime sector for greater ambition - but we cannot actalone. This year is the moment to rebuild higher ambition, and the world, especially themost vulnerable, cannot afford failure to hold temperature rise to below 1.5 degreesCelsius. Earlier promises of stronger climate finance remain unfulfilled, and even ifdelivered, must be far more accessible to those most in need. As sea-levels continue torise unabated, there is now an immediate threshold between unfulfilled promises andmeaningful action. A Special Rapporteur on climate change is needed to strengthen thefocus and human rights lens on those most vulnerable, where there are often no easysolutions. The world simply cannot delay climate ambition any further.

du Sud de la Grande Ile. La réalisation de ce projet d’envergure permettra une véritable renaissance dans cette région dans les domaines de l’agriculture et de l’élevage pour créer de l’emploi et promouvoir la résilience communautaire. La mise en place des infrastructures de base dans le domaine de la santé, de l’éducation, de l’énergie et de la sécurité́ est d’ailleurs déjà̀ effective, car il s’agit de droits fondamentaux à l’être humain. En tant que leader et dirigeant, il est de notre devoir de protéger nos populations. En matière de lutte climatique,Tous ces efforts seront vains si le laxisme dans l’application des mesures et sanctions pour la lutte contre le changement climatiquecontinuent. Cette crise nous force donc à changer de paradigme. Car si nous n’agissons pas, elleperdurera et s’amplifiera. Madagascar appelle ainsi chaque État à agir et ce, de façon équitable à la hauteur de ses actions polluantes.

Pendant que le monde luttait contre la pandémie de la Covid-19, la crise climatique a aussi frappé de plein fouet. Les tragédies climatiques se sont enchainées. Les séries d’inondations et tempêtes meurtrières en Europe, en Afrique,en Amérique du Nord et en Asie du Sud Est.Mais également les feux deforêtset de brousse dévastateursen Amérique latine, sur la Côte Ouest Américaine, en Australie et sur le continent Africain. Parmi les drames causés par le dérèglement climatique il y a égalementla hausse du niveau des océansainsi que l’avancé de la déSertification. Madagascarse trouvevictime des conséquences du changement climatique. Les vagues de sècheressedans le sud se font récurrentes, les sources d’eaux se tarissentet toutes les activités de subsistances deviennent quasi-impossible. Mes compatriotes du Sud endurent le lourd tribut de la crise climatique à laquelle ils n’ont pas participée. Aujourd’hui, pour sauver les Malagasy dans cette partie du pays, nous misons sur les actions stratégiques pour apporter un changement radical et durable. Notamment par la construction d’un grand pipeline pour alimenter en eau la région du Sud afin d’irriguer les terres et ainsi permettre aux populations de cultiver et de vivre, enfin ! Ce grand projet de pipelinen’a jamais été réalisé. C’est un défi historique a la hauteur de l’engagement inédit de l’État Malagasy pour solutionner la situation

Sustainability is a cornerstone of Sri Lanka’s national policy framework. Because of its impacton soil fertility, biodiversity, waterways and health, my Government banned the use of chemical fertilisers, pesticides, and weedicides earlier this year.Production and adoption of organic fertiliser, as well as investments into organic agriculture, are being incentivised.I appreciate the encouragement received from many global institutions and nations for our efforts to create a more sustainable agriculture in Sri Lanka. The conservation of our environment is one of our key national priorities. We aim to increase forest cover significantly in the coming decades.We are also working to clean and restore over 100 rivers countrywide, and to combat river and maritime pollution. We have also banned single use plastics to support ecological conservation. Sri Lanka recognises the urgent need to reduce use of fossil fuels and support decarbonisation. Our energy policy seeks to increase the contribution of renewable sources such as solar, wind and hydropower to 70% of our national energy needs by 2030

It is in these contexts that Sri Lanka is a Commonwealth Blue Charter Champion and leads the Action Group on Mangrove Restoration. Through the adoption of the Colombo Declaration on Sustainable Nitrogen Management, which seeks to halve nitrogen waste by 2030, Sri Lanka has also contributed to global efforts to reduce environmental pollution.

3As emphasised in the recent report by the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change, the unprecedented effect of human activity on the health of the planet is deeply worrying.Addressing the grave threats posed by climate change and the loss of biodiversity requires decisive and urgent multilateral action.

If humanity faced no other threats at all, we would still need to unite to face the most existential of our time—theglobal climate crisis. As one of the water-poorest countries in the world, Jordan is painfully aware of the threat. Our National Green Growth Action Plan is designed to ensure energy efficiency and strengthen our resilience in water and agriculture

groups of countries do not have sufficient capacity or resources to make a rapid and equitable transition to green energy sources. That will affect their ability to achieve sustainable development goals in the medium term.

his necessary response will cost the lessdevelopedand developing countries the most -the countries which still rely on energy derived from fossil fuels.

Climate change and global warming, both visible and scientifically proven through the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, are key issues that also limit the course of sustainable development

Like many other developing countries,Zambiacalls for closer cooperation and support for capacity to adopt better safer climate changes sensitive and modern methods of increased production and productivity.

Mon pays a fait sa modeste part en formulant une Stratégie Nationale de Développement Durable en parallèle à la définition de la Vision RCA 2050, qui s'inscrit dans la filiation de sa Lettre de Politique Environnementale, fondée sur un investissement pédagogique et l'instauration d'une justice environnementale équitable.
