Important push from the Nordic Countries urging the Security Council to act. SG António Guterres was right to invoke Art. 99 in face of this humanitarian catastrophe.
Climate inaction is unacceptable. We have time, but not much time. Past alerts are today’s shocking facts. Present warnings will be tomorrow‘s cascading disasters if we don’t accelerate climate action and implement systemic change. Iceland will do its part. #ClimateAmbitionSummit
Great meeting with Scotland’s First Minister Humza Yousaf on gender equality and ways for our countries to collaborate and share knowledge.
