'It's critical that the 20 biggest emitters in the world, of which we are one, and the EU [as a whole] ... and India and China and others, we have to step up. All of us have to lead here by example,' US Climate Envoy JohnKerry told DW's MKuefner.
US Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry
In an interview with DW's Michaela Küfner, Kerry said he hoped to rally countries ahead of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in November. "That's what we're trying to do now, hopefully achieve through climate diplomacy over the course of the next months before we go to Glasgow. So in Glasgow, the less developed world will be able to know that we've got the $100 billion we pulled together that has been promised and that we are doing our part to keep 1.5 degrees alive."
"This is the world's most important moment with respect to multilateralism and a global effort to solve a major international challenge," he told DW. "If we don't get it right in Glasgow, then we will be leaving certain parts of the world in chaos and disorder and in great pain over the ensuing years."
