00:00At Climate Week NYC 2025, the mood is urgent.
00:04UN Climate Chief Simon Steele is pushing world leaders, enough with promises, make policies
00:08do the work.
00:09Reuters.
00:10Even though clean energy investment hit 2 trillion dollars last year and has jumped
00:14tenfold over a decade, the gains, some nations are racing ahead, others are getting left
00:24behind.
00:25Reuters.
00:26Smaller countries, especially island nations like Antigua and Barbuda are sounding the alarm.
00:30Every big storm isn't just climate change, climate change, economic devastation.
00:39Reuters.
00:40Amidst this, there's a new global initiative, Build Clean Now and a 7.5b plan to invest in
00:45green energy for developing nations, but many say it's still not enough.
00:48Reuters.
00:49We've been talking for years.
00:50Now the scale of what's promised versus what's delivered is glaring.
00:54If policies don't shift fast, the climate effects will hit hardest where resources
00:57are smallest.
00:58And that's not fair.
00:59Or avoidable.
01:00Something's got to give and that something is going to be either our complacency or the
01:04planet's stability.
