“Working side by side, we have the ability to solve the most insurmountable problems.” Queen Elizabeth II says “history has shown that when nations come together in common cause, there is always room for hope” in COP26 video message.
Biden said the U.S. was able to make"real progress" at COP26 on methane reduction and reforestation strategies, including convincing countries on “the sideline” to commit to ambitious goals in those arenas as well."The rest of the world is going to look to China and say...are they providing?" Biden said."And they've lost the ability to influence people around the world and all the people here at COP.
Biden continued,"But I’m optimistic….what I feel is that the populations of each of our countries have a different perspective that they did at COP25." “They underlined the need for ambitious commitments and concrete actions among partners worldwide and discussed Prince Charles’ initiatives to engage the private sector on sustainability,” the official said.
"There was no road map, there was no very clear sense of how you could do it," he said of the Paris Agreement."I think what you're starting to see here, in COP26 in Glasgow, is a sense of how actually you can deliver those cuts."
