Take action on climate change at .
Something powerful is happening around the world. The issue of climate change has moved from the margins to the mainstream, says Alok Sharma, the President-Designate of COP26, the United Nations climate conference set to take place in November 2021 in Glasgow, Scotland. He unpacks what this shift means for the world economy and the accelerating "green industrial revolution" — and lays out the urgent actions that need to happen in order to limit global temperature rise.

Just because you can’t see the air, doesn’t mean you stop breathing. Just because you can’t see Your Dream doesn’t mean you stop believing Never give up – we don’t know each other but I tell you never give up!
Sir, I must say your leadership has brought us to the troubled state we have now, forgive me if I don’t have high hopes that the same leadership will be able to pull us out of the hole you all leaders have dug for all of us.
Well said
The thumbnail made me think this was about a robotic cop, to take the place of regular police lol.
Judge dredd?
Nobody trusts an investment banker to save the world..
shouldn’t it be the other way around, as they’d need to think very long term?
@zawsrdtygbhjimokpl Money is totally decoupled from sustainability, health and technical efficiency. How can one trust a manifestation, a top ranking disciple of the monetary system? Also “long-term” in business is a joke. Usually they call 5 years long-term.
Swampy was ridiculed as an inconvenient joke.
Green is main stream!
USA: Sorry bro
As long as politicians deal money NOTHING is gonna change. If it’s too old the person never sees pasts it’s pathetic self and if it too young they’re easily threaten …. the point will be NO money with politicians
>”We’re going to have to respond very fast.”
>Fossil fuel cars still legal.
Is the this same Alok Sharma who voted in favour of the HS2? And the expansion of Heathrow Airport. Scratch beneath the thinly painted green veneer of these Conservatives and you will always reach the true blue core.
Saying to do it faster doesn’t help. I want to know specific solutions instead of saying that we have to use the green solution.
as a financial consultant, i really find myself and what we are reading all the times in this words.
Hoping for everything to move faster!
Nice video
My takeaway: You humans need more DJs.
Most TED talks are intelligent, thoughtful, and right. But, this one is a new direction.

I don’t believe this man, or his Tory sponsors, ever loose sleep over anything other than their own quest for wealth & status.
Maybe some of us want to pollute the world; nobody ever thought of that.
Really TED? Just a leader’s commercial for his org‘s conference? You can do better than that
