“Something is working” #COP30

‘Something is working’: UN climate chief optimistic about green transition. #cop30

Exclusive: Simon Stiell believes economic benefits will compel countries to speed up climate action.

“We’re moving in the right direction,” he said. “Not fast enough, not deep enough, but [the progress countries have made on moving to a low-carbon economy] is showing that something is working. We need to find all the levers that are available to us, to see how we can accelerate further.”
