COP26: Alok Sharma sets tone for climate change summit demanding ‘every country’ steps up

COP26 President Alok Sharma has said he wants “more out of every country” and now is the time to deliver on limiting temperature rises to below 1.5C.

Ahead of around 120 world leaders gathering at the event on Monday for a two-day summit, Mr Sharma urged them to do more to help the planet.

Speaking to Sky News’ Trevor Phillips on Sunday, Mr Sharma said: “My message to them is very clear, leave the ghosts of the past behind you and let’s focus on the future and unite around this one issue that we know matters to all of us, which is protecting our precious planet.”
