another change in that critical section about coal, an intervention from india faced down, instead of phase out coal.— from india faced down, instead of phase out coal. from india faced down, instead of hase out coal. ~ ., .,~ ., phase out coal. what you make of it? yes, phase out coal. what you make of it? yes. that's — phase out coal. what you make of it? yes, that's right. _ phase out coal. what you make of it? yes, that's right. i— phase out coal. what you make of it? yes, that's right. i think _ phase out coal. what you make of it? yes, that's right. i think it _ phase out coal. what you make of it? yes, that's right. i think it is - yes, that's right. i think it is really interesting that the final hours of cop26 have come down to this show off over language related to phasing out coal power and inefficient fuel subsidies, which really goes to show you how much that language, as weak as it already was, is quite precedent—setting in this space. so, we have now had a shift because of india's reservations with existing text from phase—out to face down. a lot of countries expressing their disappointment with that change, getting on record that they would prefer for it to be stronger, but in all honesty, while it is true that we should have been phasing out coal fired electricity a decade ago, i don't know that this change really makes a huge difference. in the end,
8:11 pm
what we have got here is a wage in the door of accelerating the energy transition in this space, so we have two, in the coming years, hold the door more open. the two, in the coming years, hold the door more open.— door more open. the fact that that section is in _ door more open. the fact that that section is in there, _ door more open. the fact that that section is in there, that _ door more open. the fact that that section is in there, that is - section is in there, that is ground—breaking enough for you? it is for this space, like i said. we had this conversation a couple of days ago, right? that for over 30 years, we have been entering into these negotiations year after year, there have been previous attempts at about phasing out fossil fuels and it has been totally squashed and finally we get a little bit of that text surviving. i think the important thing to reflect on is that the energy transition is going out there in the real world, as are the movements of people across different sectors who are trying to accelerate that energy transition. and whatever gets said here or doesn't get said he doesn't stop all of that. it is important we make
8:12 pm
sure this process somehow reflects it and again we have taken a little step in that direction today. it will be amazing, richard, to any deal there watching, given what we are talking about, and that is fossil fuels, are talking about, and that is fossilfuels, that are talking about, and that is fossil fuels, that it is never appeared before in the text. i think catherine actually said, he said to me the other day, is a bit like talking about the covid—i9 pandemic without actually mentioning the virus. it is essential to what we are talking about, and it is the first time it has appeared in the text. it first time it has appeared in the text. , , ., first time it has appeared in the text. , , . ., , first time it has appeared in the text. ,, . ., , , text. it is bizarre. the reality is that many _ text. it is bizarre. the reality is that many governments - text. it is bizarre. the reality is| that many governments haven't text. it is bizarre. the reality is - that many governments haven't wanted it to appear, _ that many governments haven't wanted it to appear, saudi arabia, for example. _ it to appear, saudi arabia, for example, the gulf states, australia, where _ example, the gulf states, australia, where government still thinks it can plot where government still thinks it can piot its _ where government still thinks it can plot its future on coal exports, they— plot its future on coal exports, they simply haven't wanted it included. there is a dichotomy on the way— included. there is a dichotomy on the way that governments treat that part of _ the way that governments treat that part of the _ the way that governments treat that part of the science that deals with climate _ part of the science that deals with climate impacts and the way the world _ climate impacts and the way the world is— climate impacts and the way the world is warming and how they treat that trit— world is warming and how they treat that bit of— world is warming and how they treat that bit of the science that tells you how — that bit of the science that tells you how to get out of the problem. because _ you how to get out of the problem. because we see in the text here lots

and as i said in my statement in the plenary, there are other pieces of that package that are critical that we fought really hard to get and that are part of that lifeline that people in my country need, and so we took it, but i needed to express the deep disappointment that we felt about having to do that. india deep disappointment that we felt about having to do that.- deep disappointment that we felt about having to do that. india is a ve bi about having to do that. india is a very big voice _ about having to do that. india is a very big voice in _ about having to do that. india is a very big voice in the _ about having to do that. india is a very big voice in the room, - very big voice in the room, naturally. and i guess alok sharma, as the president, took the view that he wouldn't get this across that line unless he bowed to what they were saying. was it simple as they wouldn't have backed the whole document had he not made that change? b55 document had he not made that chance? �* , document had he not made that chance? r �* change? as i said, we weren't in the room, change? as i said, we weren't in the room. and — change? as i said, we weren't in the room, and perhaps— change? as i said, we weren't in the room, and perhaps if— change? as i said, we weren't in the room, and perhaps if we _ change? as i said, we weren't in the room, and perhaps if we had - change? as i said, we weren't in the room, and perhaps if we had been, l change? as i said, we weren't in the room, and perhaps if we had been, i could answer your question, but i can't tell you. but i think for us,

particularly from the very small island states, we come here to speak, to be heard, and for that to happen, we need to be in the room. and, so, this is where we are. we do have a package that has doubling of adaptation finance which is something that the high ambition coalition really brought up, brought to the table, and there are also other pieces of the package that reflect the leader statement that we put out last week. so, really, really important pieces that, you know, we cannot afford to lose, and that we hope gives us a basis for more progress. it has to. this has to be the basis for more progress, much more accelerated progress over the next year up to cop27. john kerry said. _
