Kerry: ‘Without Exaggeration’ Taking Action on Climate Is ‘About Survival’

‘It’s about protecting and preserving the fragile world that we share’

EXCERPT:

KERRY: "So, it’s good to be back in the U.K. where my friend Alok Sharma and his team are hard at work preparing to host the U.N. Climate Conference COP26 in Glasgow this November, and I am particularly grateful to join you in this remarkable setting, it's an amazing place, which is both a living tribute to nature’s beauty, but also its fragility. And, fundamentally, the struggle to tackle the global climate crisis is just as simple and profound as this place. It’s about protecting and preserving the fragile world that we share. It’s about understanding that it costs more not to respond to the climate crisis than it does to respond. And it is, without exaggeration, about survival.“
