The focus of our agenda for this meeting is on energy, and on how we can make better use of technology to make the transition to a low-carbon economy. |
The public utilities and the public services are among the people who have done the most preparatory work. |
There are some problems remaining but what we have to be wary of is creating further problems ourselves. |
There is no greater challenge facing the world. |
This campaign is about giving people confidence the work is being done. |
Today's dialogue has succeeded in reinforcing the need for international partnerships and cooperation in tackling the reality of climate change. |
We are keeping these issues under review but there are lots of questions about the effectiveness of the vaccine and how it will mask the disease. We don't rule out the use of vaccine but there are a number of questions still to be addressed. |
We believe we can reach the 20% target with support from all sections of the economy and society. |
We face a timetable that is driven by nature, science and by the predicted effect of climate change on our world, not by our own negotiating processes. |
You can almost never say that a particular event is caused by climate change, |
You couldn't necessarily say, 'That hurricane, that storm, that flood only happened because of climate change,' (but) you're starting to see a pattern of extreme weather events. |
