"This is personal. This is not about politics. I don't live in Palau. I don't live on Barbados. I don't live on the Marshall Islands. But there it's even far more personal because you're standing with your feet in the water. This is what we need to address today."

"We need to make sure major emitters reduce their emissions so that we keep 1.5 alive. That needs to be at the heart of our conclusions today. We need to be able to say when we meet again in Egypt next year, we've done it, we're on track for 1.5."

We are not where we need to be – not even close. We’re moving in the right direction, but the world is still too far away from our 1.5 degree goal. This week at #COP26 we need to take decisions that put us on track to reaching our goal. Within a year, because time is running out. 
This is about addressing the effects of the crisis we are already experiencing, just as much as it is about making sure it does not get worse. Financing adaptation is critical. We all repeated that mantra endlessly. But the rhetoric is sadley not followed by action.
