Quotes:
“In order to be credible, in order to ensure that things are going to work, it needs to be digested and backed by the whole society.” – Teresa Ribera, Deputy Prime Minister, Spain
“One clear theme that has emerged at COP27 is a demand for accountability on net zero targets. Countries recognise the difficulty of reaching net zero but also the necessity to do so – no one country has it exactly right yet. This framework is an important first step to reach true zero and I hope more countries join this effort.” – Laurence Tubiana, CEO, European Climate Foundation
