The UN has not yet announced which world leaders or officials will get one of the coveted speaking slots at the climate summit
in a year marked by a record number of billion-dollar disasters, including eight severe floods.
As of Monday, the UN had not announced which world leaders or officials would get one of the coveted speaking slots at the climate summit. Over 100 countries’ officials have told Guterres they want to speak, but his team has been weeding out the applications over the last few days, prioritizing countries that plan new actions to advance their previous climate targets.
The nearly 40-member Alliance of Small Island States will use Climate Week as a platform to call on the leaders of developed countries to make stronger moves to end the use of fossil fuels and to support the global ramp-up of renewable energy such as wind, geothermal and solar power.
