World Leaders on Pollution

U.S. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

"Climate change is the existential threat to humanity. Unchecked it is going to actually bake this planet. This is not hyperbole. Its real and we have a moral obligation."

'There is no more time to hang back or sit on the fence or argue amongst ourselves. This is a challenge of our collective lifetimes. The existential threat, threat to human existence as we know it and everyday we delay the cost of inaction increases. So let this be the moment that we answer historys call in Glasgow!"

CHINESE PRESIDENT XI JINPING

"Tackling climate change is a shared mission for mankind... Let us join hands to contribute to the establishment of an equitable and effective global mechanism on climate change, work for global sustainable development at a high level and bring about new international relations featuring win-win cooperation."

FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON

"Its often those who can't access the models of development that caused this climate change that are living through its first consequences. Small islands, vulnerable territories, Indigenous people are the first victims of climate disturbances. We need to move more quickly to implement commitments for 2030, a plan of action that is clear, measurable and verifiable. Basically 2030 is the new 2050, it is the plan that the European Union put forward with its Green Deal. It's therefore upto us to use all the levers available to us, innovation, transformation and regulation!"

RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN

"We (Russia) have significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time we have managed to double our GDP. We have demonstrated that we can ensure economic development and take care of our environment at the same time!"

"Russia will continue to contribute to joint efforts at preventing global warming!"

INDIAN PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI

"Climate justice demands that the little carbon space we still have, developing countries should have enough room to grow," said Modi, a key player because of his country's size and its heavy dependence on coal.

In Glasgow Climate Conference 2021, he said that "India would increase its 2030 target for an installed capacity of 'non-fossil energy, mostly solar from 450 to 500 gigawatts and India will fulfil 50% of its energy requirement through renewable energy by 2030. Moreover India is committed to reducing carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes and a net 45% carbon reduction among the five-point plan. The number of goods produced per unit of energy would be reduced by 45% by 2030, where the previous goal was 35%."

GERMAN CHANCELLOR ANGELA MERKEL

"We have to pay heed to the scientific estimates again, and that means sticking to global warming of 1.5 degrees. Glasgow Climate Summit 2021 has already yielded a number of results. Butthis is still going too slowly from young people's understandable perspective," she said."We're not doing too badly in Germany compared with other countries: she said of the country's environmental record. But were also one of the leading industrialized countries: she added, noting that with new technologies and scientific insights, it was Germany's responsibility to 'lead by example!"

The aim of the summit was "a binding United nation framework' and a binding review mechanism to close the gap between the impact on global warming of promised measures and the work required to limit rising temperatures, she said.

PRINCE CHARLES OF BRITAIN

Prince Charles Said that "If the planet were a patient, we would have treated her long ago. You, ladies and gentlemen, have the power to put her on life support, and the world must surely start the emergency procedures without further procrastination!"

U. N.SECRETARY-GENERAL ANTONIO GUTERRES

"Our addiction to fossil fuels is pushing humanity to the brink. We face a stark choice, Either we stop it or it stops us. It's time to say, enough... Enough of treating nature like a toilet. Enough of burning and drilling and mining our way deeper. We are digging our own graves" By early next year, countries representing more than 65 % of global carbon dioxide emissions and more than 70 % of the world economy will have made ambitious commitments to carbon neutrality."

"We must turn this momentum into a movement. The central objective of the United Nations for 2021 is to build a truly Global Coalition for Carbon Neutrality. Every country, city, financial institution and company should adopt plans for transitioning to net zero emissions by 2050...(and take) decisive action now."

"Humanity is waging war on nature. Nature always strikes back and it is already doing so with growing force and fury."

SWEDISH CLIMATE ACTIVIST GRETATHUNBERG

"Change is not going to come from inside there — that is not leadership, this is leadership. We say no more 'blah blah blah; no more exploitation of people and nature and the planet."

"This ongoing irresponsible behavior will no doubt be remembered in history as one of the greatest failures of humankind! We children are doing this to wake the adults up. We children are doing this for you to put your differences aside and start acting as you would in a crisis. We children are doing this because we want our hopes and dreams back!"

"We do it because we want to influence the people around us, we want to send a clear signal that we are facing an emergency and when you are In an emergency you change your behavior."

"Adults keep saying: 'We owe it to the young people to give them hope: But I don't want your hope. I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel everyday. And then I want you to act!"

"Governments must show the strongest leadership to limit "the effects of climate change which we strongly believe is also the cause of radicalism and terrorism. The plight of refugees we see today ... and increasing terrorisms and radicalism represents a small measure of what the world, mankind, will face if we do not tackle climate change."

ROBERT MUGABE, PRESIDENT OF ZIMBABWE

"Developed countries are being miserly ... they burden us for cleaning up the mess they have created!"

image

BARON WAQA, PRESIDENT OF NAURU

"The climate bill has finally come due. Who will pay? Right now it is being paid by the smallest and most vulnerable. We see a small toll exacted every day as our shorelines are surely eroded. Small island communities are among the first to pay the price of climate change but no one will escape forever."





image

JUAN HERNANDEZ¬PRESIDENT OF HONDURAS

Following the Nov. 13 attacks by Islamist militants that killed 130 people in Paris, he added: °I can't separate the fight with terrorism from the fight against global warming. These are two big global challenges we have to face up to, because we have to leave our children more than a world freed of terror, we also owe them a planet protected from catastrophes"
