feminine and thank you for joining my statement and will be brief, we can only overcome the climic crisis by ditching business as usual, a shamble shake I said we would do things differently.
So over the last year, loss on loss and damage we opted for an innovative approach a transitional bwysig, felly i dweud yn ymddiogel o brosiectu yn ymddiogel. Y ysgol yn ddannu gwybod yn Ymddiogel, yw ddweud am y debyg yw'r Ysgol yn ymddiogel.
Ond mae'n gilydd yn y gwybod. Wrth gwrs, mae'n hynny'n gweld gyda'r cynyddiad hynny, mae'n dod am ystafell hwnnw, a'r cyfrifio cyfrifio'i achos ymddian nhw o'r hynny o'r cyfrifio'i achos ymddiogel.
The global stock take is the vehicle to get climate action on track. Finance is the great enabler for climate action. The negotiations must put it front and centre.
Loss in damage was a win, but we're kidding ourselves if we think it's a tick in the box for finance and support at this COP more is required.
We need enhanced transparency and to deliver our promise to fund climate action across the world. Let's be honest, good intentions won't halve emissions this decade or save lives right now.
Only serious progress on finance can deliver frontline results. We've said we'll double adaptation finance, now we have to deliver, including on the details and set ourselves up to go much further.
We must not lose any focus on the global goal for adaptation. 8 billion people are on the front lines, right now only 50 countries have national adaptation plans.
On the global stock take, we have a starting text on the table, but it's a grab bag of wishes, but it's a grab bag of wish lists and heavy on posturing.
The key now is to sort the wheat from the chaff. If we want to save lives now and keep 1.5 goal within reach, the highest ambition COP outcomes must stay front and centre.
At the end of next week, we need COP to deliver a bullet train to speed up climate action. We currently have an old caboose chugging over rickety tracks, but the tools are all there on the table, the technologies and solutions exist.
It's time for governments and negotiators to pick them up and put them to work. UN climate change will be working with parties every step of the way as the honest broker and convener. We'll make sure all countries have a seat at the table and can use their full voice.
