Last year I addressed Climate Week5 and spoke of the urgency of the climate challenge – and how the window for meaningful action on climate change is closing.
With every passing month further stark news emerges to renew that call:  A recent WMO6 report warns we are getting closer and closer to breaching the 1.5-degree threshold set out by the Paris Agreement – with global mean temperatures predicted to continue increasing, moving us further and further away from the climate we are used to.
