PRINCE William today urged world leaders to make the “impossible, possible” as they engaged in last-ditch talks to strike a landmark COP26 deal.
The Duke of Cambridge stressed the need for people to “think differently” if the battle against global warming is to be put on the path to victory within a decade. He spoke at the climate change summit in Glasgow the day after the Queen’s powerful intervention in which she called on world leaders to act “for our children and our children’s children”.
As hopes were dwindling of a historic COP26 agreement, the Duke delivered a speech challenging world leaders to go further in their efforts to stop catastrophic floods, fires and heatwaves. “If we are to achieve our goal to repair our planet in what is now less than a decade, it is our shared responsibility to continue thinking differently, acting boldly, and making the impossible, possible,” he said.
US President Joe Biden also appealed to world leaders to “seize this moment” with just hours left to thrash out the outline of a major new deal. He put “America back” at the heart of the global community after the isolationist Donald Trump years. Mr Biden was set to lead a roundtable event of political leaders on championing more green infrastructure for developing countries.
