It is a privilege to represent him here today, as well as everyone who has championed this cause for so many years.
"All of us here understand that we are edging dangerously close to the earth's critical tipping points, thresholds beyond which the natural systems we depend on may begin to unravel. The melting of polar ice, the loss of the Amazon, the disruption of ocean currents: these are not distant threats. They are fast approaching and will affect every one of us, no matter where we live...
"We must ask ourselves: what legacy do we wish to leave? Because the impact of our choices today will be felt by families everywhere: in the safety of their homes, the stability of their livelihoods, and the health of the natural world that sustains us all.
"The road ahead will be tough. We must transform the way we power our lives, produce our goods, travel, and care for our land."
