00:00It is therefore my great pleasure and honor to present President Emmanuel Macron with the Rising Nations Leader Award for
00:122026.
00:25When we speak about the vulnerability of our countries, when we speak about the consequences of the climate change, and
00:32the necessity to deal with the agenda of climate, biodiversity, and oceans, it's for all of us.
00:42We must continue to support independent scientists, journalists, civil rights advocates.
00:50Sea level rise is a direct consequence of climate change. Climate mitigation efforts are integral to ocean protection efforts.
00:59And France has been a tireless defender of science and scientists who deepen our knowledge and our understanding of climate
01:08change, including the IPCC.
01:09I want to insist here because we all know that independent science is today threatened, the independence of the sciences
01:20is threatened, and this agenda is threatened by some nations.
01:27Thank you very much.
01:28Let's go.
01:34Please, everyone.
