After the rigorous huddles, world leaders delivered their roadmap at the opening of COP26, in Glasgow (Scotland), Monday, November 1. Often serious speeches. “Failure of this conference would spark uncontrollable anger and impatience in the world.”, developed Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister. Apologized for health reasons, Queen Elizabeth II posted a video in which she judges that “History has shown that when nations make common cause, there is always room for hope.”

“It’s time to say ‘enough’. Enough of brutalizing biodiversity, killing ourselves with carbon, treating nature like a toilet, burning, drilling and mining deeper. We dig our own graves.”, warned Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the UN. Joe Biden, the American president, explained that he saw this COP26 as an opportunity to invest and build a sustainable future. For Emmanuel Macron, it is vital to limit the rise in temperatures to 1.5 degrees, in accordance with the commitments of the COP21 in Paris. “I want here to call on the countries which are not at the rendezvous of their fair share, to take their responsibilities by the end of this COP”, declared the President of the Republic. This will continue until November 12.
