to 60 percent of the world's population, about half of global manny for and about half of global manufacturing. colds uses growing rather than shrinking. and china, again, they've agreed with that because emitter in the world, they've agreed to am, to phase out building of coal fired power stations around the world, butts within the country. they're still building them and they rely very heavily on cove their power even though the renewable program is building up. you got a similar situation in europe. the european union is aiming to set for, for that's carbon neutral situation by 2050. but then you have the lights of poland, who will hear from later will hear from the promise for poland, who rely on coal for 70 percent of their energy needs. so all this just gets thrown into the melting pot. and at the end of it, you need some kind of positive resolution. and that is, i think, is all they can aim for is hoping to keep one and a half degrees celsius within reach. but we'll see presumably the keynote speakers

were expecting to hear from doris. johnson soon they can't though, nick gets on their moral high horse with people like the russian president, the chinese premier, you are talking about poland that you know and yet having said all that we've seen the siberian arctic was on fire this past summer. massive heat waves across canada flooding in germany. so whatever mr. johnson says to, with his opening comments will get a positive response, not just from wealthy, powerful countries that have got a big appetite for power, but also from the countries you were talking. i think earlier on to, i think it was the premier from the moldy for the se shells. one of those 2 archipelago type countries will protectors that those countries that are literally sinking because sea levels are rising. yeah, absolutely. all those of the least developed countries are angry about what's happening

if the policy has been lots of the as it crescent, like, were put it lots of blah, blah blah from world leaders, but not a fat lot of action. and they've been clamoring fraction for decades. now, and this brings in another major pillar of what an agreement here, or least a and gloves good patch might look like that that would rest on climate finance. we have a 100000000 dollars year that was promised way back in 2009 and a 100000000 dollars year is worth a lot more now than it was then. it was promised by rich nations to finance, developing countries to be able to adapt against climate change and to be able to take on the transition at to renewable energy. and it should have arrived in 2020 we only had last week. it's not gonna arrive until 2023. and so there's a, there's a deficit of trust here in glasgow. and to enable that gap to be bridged. a lot of hard work needs to be done and it's, it's going to take some effort while parties neg do stay with us just for 30

seconds or so. so it's one or updates or what we're looking at right now. this is the beginnings of the opening ceremony. we've seen there are prince charles and camilla in the front row flanked by various precedents from prime ministers in late from around the world. let's just open the microphone and get, get a sense of what's going on there. nothing will change without you. and right on cue when a t, v and command stopped talking, the 1st movie hope to carry on talking stops, talking is life television. these things happen. we're in conversation bar is john, we're in private. we're in conversation with our environment editor nick clark and will come to nick in just a 2nd because he borrows johnson. bailey u. k. prime minister is just taking to the stage as well. we'll get his

opening common data right now. welcome to cop. welcome to girls, go and to scotland, who's most globally famous, fictional son, is almost certainly a man called james bond. who generally comes to the climax of his highly lucrative film strapped to a doomsday device, desperately trying to work out which colored wire to poll to touch it off. while a rid digital clock ticks down remorselessly to a detonation that will end human life. as we know it, and we are in roughly the same position by fellow global leaders as james bond today, except that the tragedy is this is not a movie. and the dooms day device is real and the clock is ticking to the furious rhythm of hundreds of billions of pistons and turbines and furnaces

and engines with which we are pumping carbon into the air faster and faster record outputs. and quilting the earth in an invisible and suffocating blanket of c o. 2. raising the temperature of the planet with a speed and an abruptness that is entirely manmade. and we know what the scientists tell us and we have learned not to ignore them. 2 degrees more, i'd be jeopardized the food supply for hundreds of millions of people as crops wither . locus swarm 3 degrees and you can add more wildflowers and cycling it's twice as many, 5 times as many drugs. and 36 times as many heat weighs, 4 degrees, we say good bye to whole cities, miami,

alexandria, shanghai, all lost beneath the waves. the longer we failed to act, the worse it gets, and the higher the price when we are eventually forced by catastrophe to act because humanity has long since run down the clock on climate change. it's one minute to midnight on that doomsday clock and we need to act now. if we don't get serious about climate change today, it will be too late for our children to do so. to morrow, i was there with many of you in copenhagen 11 years ago when we acknowledged we had a problem. i was there in paris 6 years ago when we agreed to net 0 and to try to restrain the rise in the temperature of the planet to 1.5 degrees.

and all those promises will be nothing but blah, blah, blah, to coin a phrase. and the anger and the impatience of the world will be uncontainable, unless we make this comp $26.00 in glasgow. the moment when we get real about climate change and we can, we can get real on cold calls cache and trees. we have the technology to deactivate that ticking doomsday device, not, not all at once. i'm afraid it's too late for that, but one by one and with ever greater speed and efficiency, we can begin to close down those billions of hydrocarbon combustion chambers that you find currently in every corner of the planet. we can phase out the use of cars with hydrocarbon internal combustion engines. by 2035, we can do that. we in the u. k. a leading by ending new sales. by 2030. we can

end the use of coal fired power stations. we can do it by 2040 in the developing world 2030 in the richer nations. we can plug hundreds of millions of trees, a trillion. it's not technologically difficult, and hold and reverse deforestation by 2030. not just because it's a spiritually uplifting and beautiful thing to do, but because that is the way to restore the balance of nature and to fix carbon in the air. and as we look at the green industrial revolution that is now needed around the world, we in the develop world must recognize the special responsibility we have to help everybody else to do it because it was here in glasgow. 250 years

ago. the james, what came up with a machine that was powered by steam that was produced by burning cove. and yes, my friends, we brought you to the very place where the doomsday machine began to tick. and even though for 200 years, the industrialized countries were in complete ignorance of the problem that they were created. we now have a duty to find those funds, a $100000000000.00 a year that was promised in paris by 2020, but which we won't deliver until 2023 to help the rest of the world to move to green technology. but we cannot, i will not succeed by government spending alone. we in this room could deploy hundreds of billions the question. but the market has hundreds of trillions and the task now is to work together to help our friends to de carbonized using our

funds. the funds we have in develop a distance and working with all the multilateral development banks. so that in the key countries that need to make progress, we can jointly identify the projects that we can help to de risk so that the private sector money can come in in just the same way that it was the private sector that enabled the u. k. 2, it n dot dependence on co become the, the saudi arabia. of when we have the technology, we can find the finance and we must and the question for our soul today is whether we have the will and my fellow leaders. as i look around this from, i don't want to put to, to find a find a point on it. but you know, we all talk about what we're going to do in 2050 or 20. 60

i don't think it will escape the notice that the crowds of a young people outside the billions who are watching her around the world off of the population. the world under 30 that the average age of this conclave of a well leaders, i'm afraid to say is over 60. i fully intend to be alive. in 2016. i will be a 94 years old. even if i'm not at still in dunny street. but you know, no, but the children, the children who will judge us are our children, not yet bull and their children. and we are now coming sent to stage before a vast and uncountable audience of posterity. and we mustn't fluff our lines or miss our q, because if we fail, they will not forgive us. they will know that glasgow was the historic

turning point when history failed to turn. they will judge us with bitterness and with a resentment that eclipse is any of the climate activists of today. and they will be right. cop $26.00 will not and cannot be the end of the story on climate change. even if this conference ends with binding global commitments for game changing real world action, 2 weeks from now, smokestacks will still belch in industrial. hot lands. cars will still belch in their pastures, even if some brilliant t we scientists are teaching them. how to be more polite, cars powered by petrol and diesel will still choke congested roads in the world's great cities. no one conference could ever change that. if summits

alone solved climate change, then we wouldn't have needed 25 previous cop summits to get where we are today. but while cop $26.00 will not be the end of climate change, it can and it must mark the beginning of the end in the is since paris, the world is slowly and with great effort and pain built a life boat for humanity. and now is the time to give back life boat, a mighty shove into the water, like some great liner. rolling down the slip ways of the clyde take a sexton sighting on 1.5 degrees and set off on a journey trade cleaner, greener future. so let us therefore, in the next days, devote ourselves to this extraordinary task so that we not only continue with

a program that is of green industrial revolution that is already creating millions of high wage, high skilled jobs in power and technology. taking our economy's food. let us also do enough to save our planet and our way of life. and as we were, let us think about those billions of beady eyes that are watching us around the world, increasingly edgy and disenchanted. and let us think of the billions more of the unborn, whose anger will be all the greater. if we fail, we cannot let them down. we have the ideas, we have the technology, we have the bankers. we have the corporations with me, the indians. we have the interpreters, we have the meeting rooms. if all else fails, we have the unbeatable hospitality refreshment of, of gloves. good. we may not feel much like james bond.

no loss necessarily look like james bond, but we have the opportunity and we have the duty to make this summit, the moment when humanity finally began and i stress began to diffuse that fall. and to make this the moment when me, but when we began irrefutably to turn the tide and to begin the fight back against climate change. yes, it's going to be hard. but yes, we can do it. and so let's get to work with all the creativity and imagination and goodwill that we possess. thank you very much. and good luck to all of us. thank you. or has johnson getting a war me most thankful, rounded applause there from his fellow leaders in the auditorium there. he said he

opened up his hitch by talking about how the gracious export from scotland was james bond. i suspected as to watch the latest, daniel craig offering. this is not a movie. he said, doomsday device is, are real. we are quilting the earth in an invisible blanket of c o. 22 degrees more and people start dying. he said it's one minute to midnight and we need to act now. it'll be too late for our children. he said, we have the technology and we can end the use of all the negatives gas guzzlers and also our coal power stations. let's just bring in net clark again, outer cirrus environment editor, classic bar as johnson's speech there, nick, but what's your take away from it? yeah, only bars. johnson could connect her james bond planetary parallel at a conference that such as this m e. and as a rallying call to everybody here,

is that to try and get something done. you wouldn't have expected anything less. a coming up the, the usual stuff, but he was saying that we have the technology, we have the finance, we just need the will. and it's the children not yet born. who will face the worst of this cop? 26 cannot be the end of the story. and that's absolutely the case, isn't it? because the worst effects of extreme weather hitting the world already is costing billions is displacing millions birds. it's going to get a lot worse if something isn't done. we heard earlier about how air rising sea levels are going to displace millions of people of coastal dwellers in cities around the world. it will just go on getting worse. he came out with his air, his favorite manager on coal cars, cash and trees, as is kind of signature, short hand for, for the full priority areas has called 26 coal. that's the need to phase out coal. as soon as possible, he said that develop well could do it pretty soon by 2035, the developing belt a little bit later. that will be

a lot of questions asked about that because as many countries in, well, not least china, the world biggest emitter of c o 2, we rely very heavily on coal and have no intention of phasing it out. just at this moment, i will say poland in the e u. they rely called the 70 percent of that power as a whole issue of jobs in the homes and in other countries long coals. it's not that straightforward and then ramping up the transition to electric vehicles at which is his cause because section of his mantra again, that something is going to take a great deal of investment, a huge amount of infrastructure required just for cars to get around the country such as britain say, and to be able to recharge their vehicles along the way that kind of instructor takes a lot of money. takes a lot of investment and climate finance. we come back to this critical issue which could be a make or break deal here in glasgow. going back to that 100000000 dollars year, that was promised way back to be provided by rich nations to developing countries

by 2020 hasn't arrived and is not gonna arrive until 2023. so again, borrows johnson, calling for people to ramp up their commitments to provide money to enable those developing nations and to be able to adapt to the changing climate that we could he around the world extreme, whether that is bringing and also to enable them to have a smooth, easier transition to renewable energy and then ending deforestation. a tree section of his mantra. again, that's something that's a british governments is tried very hard to assist with, addressed a $1000000000.00 to a climate finance to go towards a deforestation, enabling and trying to stop it in the amazon bits. it's an ongoing compliments is going to take a lot more than that had to be held to resolve that particular issue. so brush johnson just running the troops as it were, was 2 weeks of hard work ahead. we'll see how much people to be listening. nick,

as you're talking to us to stay with us, but as you're talking to us, we're looking at a representative of one of the indigenous communities from the amazon rain forests who are there and i guess it is appropriate. it's good planning on the organizers part that they've gone from forest johnson, the prime minister of the wealthy industrialized g 7 g, 20 country to somebody who is experiencing the reality of climate change back home. just to go back to unique when they talk about that $100000000000.00 a year. other people are breaking that down and they're saying, look, that's just 80 us dollars per person on the planet. and $80.00 per person is not a lot of money, but $80.00 per person is a huge amount of money. if you come from a 3rd world country that is being hit and hit and hit again by the reality of

climate change. yeah, absolutely. and if you consider that 100000000 dollars, year was 1st major back in 2009. and copenhagen is one good thing came out of there . and it was worth a lot more than that. it is not that needs to be a huge amount more money put up. but just looking at pictures now his antennae, caterers, the un secretary general, has come to the podium. so let's have a few minutes of bodies johnson i want to thank you. and so, thank god, president, alack sharma for your hospitality, your leadership, and your tireless efforts in the preparation of this call your oil highness, his excellency's, ladies and gentlemen. this 6 years since the fairies, climate, the agreement have been the 6 hottest ears on record. our

addiction to foreseen fools is pushing humanity to the body. we face us thought choice. i then we stop it or it stops us. and it's time to say enough enough of book the lising biodiversity. enough of killing ourselves with carbon. enough of t thing nature like a toilet. enough of burdening and drilling and minding go away deeper. we are digging our own grapes. our planet is changing before our eyes from the ocean depths to mountain tops from melting glaciers to relentless, extreme weather events. sea level rise is doubled, the rate it was 30 years ago. oceans are hotter than ever, and getting warmer, faster parts of the amazon ro, forest. now m, it's more carbon than they absorb. re since climate action announcements

might give the impression that to get on track to turn things around, these is an illusion. the last published report on national determined contributions showed that they would still condemn bewell to a calamity. 2.7 legally increase. and even if the recent pledges were clear and could have the ball and there are serious questions about some of them, we are still careening towards climate catastrophe. even in the best case, scenario, temperature to rise well above 2 degrees. so as we opened these much anticipated climate conference, we are still having for climate disaster. young people know it. every

country says it's small island, developing states and other vulnerable ones, livid. and for them, failure is not an option. failure is the best sentence. excellencies, we face a moment of truce, we are fast approaching tipping points that feel free, that escalating feedback to looks of global heating. but investing in the net zito climate resiliency cut me will create feedback loops of its own virtual circles of sustainable gross jobs and opportunity. we have broken us to build upon law. and number of countries f major can at the bow commitment to net 0 emissions by mid century. many if pull the plug on international financing of coal over 7 and that cities are leaving the way to carbon no tele fee. and the private sector is waking up, the net 0 assets on road is alliance,

the gold standard for credible commitments and turn, sped and targets is managing $103000000.00 us dollars in assets and catalyzing change across industries. the climate action now to me, led by young people is unstoppable. they are larger, they are love it, and they, i assure you, they are not going away. and i stand with them. excellencies, the science is clear. we know what to do. first, we must keep the goal of 1.5 degrees celsius ally. these requires good aids that ambition, on mitigation. and the immediate concrete action could use global emissions by 45 percent by 20 certainty. g. 20 countries have a particular responsibility. as that he put his hands out on to 80 percent of

emissions according to the principle of common but the fit, initiating the responsibilities in light of national circumstances developed countries must plead the effort. but the emerging economy stool must go the extra mile as their contribution is essential for the effective reduction of emissions. we need maxime ambition from all count. that is all know france to make glasgow a success. i urge developed countries and the merging economies to build coalitions for create the financial and technological conditions to accelerate the kind of an isolation of the economy. as well as the phases of coal. these coalitions are demand to support the larger methods that faced more difficulties in the transition from day to green for them to be able to do it. let's have no illusions if commitments fall short by the end of the scott,

countries must revisit their national climate plans and policies. not every 5 years . every ear, every moment, and feel keeping to $1.00 degrees is assured and through subsidies to fossil fuels end, and fuel, that is a price on carbon and fuel coal is phase vaults. but we also need the date that clarity that he's at that he sees of could have the ability and the surplus of confusion over the emissions reductions and net settle targets. we leave it un meanings and different metrics that his wife beyond the mechanisms already established the berries the agreement. i'm announcing to say that it's will establish a group of experts to propose clear standards to measure and analyze net 0 commitments

from non state actors. second, we must do more to protect vulnerable communities from the clear and present danger of climate change. over the last decade, nearly 4000000000 people suffered climates with a few disasters that devastation we lonely grow. but adaptation works early warning systems save lives, climate smart equity culture. the need for the structure save jobs. and all donors must all okay. all that climate financed weather station and publicans multilateral development banks should start as soon as possible serve the scope must be a moment of solidarity to a lender 1000000000 rest dollars. the ear fiber, finance commitment in support of developing countries must become at 100000000 clients, finance city, yellow t. and these is critical to re starting trust and k,

the ability. i welcome the efforts led by canada and germany to lel l post. yet there it is, an important footsteps, but it delays the largest support 40 years and it doesn't give clear yet in peace. and beyond the 100000000 developing countries these far greater resources to fight bobby 19 to build resilience and put askew sustainable development. though suffering the most, namely least developed countries and small island developing states need urge and funding more public clabbered finance mod, overseas development aids more grants, easier to access the funding and multi lateral development banks must work much more seriously at mobilizing that investment. so blend live and private finance. excellence is the science of sounding our planet is talking to

us and telling us some seats. and so our people, everywhere. i'm addiction, thoughts the least that people's concerns across country is age and gender. we must listen and the must act, and we must choose wisely. on behalf of these and future generations, i urge you choose ambition. choose sully, that is the truth. to safeguard our future and save humanity. and i thank you. welcome joining us. you're watching dismissal and coverage of what's going on. my coffee. 26. this is the news are i'm piece adobe in dover, my colleague nick clark, his life for us in glasgow, where cop 26 is taking place. we've just been hearing there from the un secretary

general antonio terrace. he was saying in the 6 years since the paris summit, we've had the 6 hottest years on record. let's talk.
