00:00Today, of course, the World Climate Action Summit officially took off with the US chief
00:05Antonio Guterres addressing leaders from across the world and saying that there is no time
00:10to waste and also saying that leaders around the world need to do better to protect their
00:16people from the ravages of climate change.
00:18He has also said that this COP in Baku should mean that developing countries do not go back
00:25empty-handed.
00:27He said that G20 countries in particular need to take a bigger step towards climate finance.
00:34He said they are the largest amidst and with the greatest capacities as well as responsibilities.
00:40His comments, of course, are being seen in a very important light given that the next
00:46leadership in the United States of America seems ready to pull out of the Paris Agreement
00:51and that is being seen as a huge setback for global climate action.
