00:00We're currently on course for around three degrees, which is still dangerously high.

00:07But thankfully, we've already entered a new era.

00:13And let's be clear, climate finance is not, is not charity.

00:21Just take rising food prices, which have the fingerprints of climate-driven droughts, floods

00:28and wildfires all over them.

00:31Most of all, climate finance saves lives.

00:36Imagine, we're already headed in the right direction.

00:40We just have to implement and implement more and implement faster.

00:47A country may step back, but others are already stepping into their place to seize that opportunity

00:56and to reap the massive rewards, stronger economic growth, more jobs, less pollution

01:04and far lower health costs and more secure and affordable energy.
