Ursula von der Leyen says concrete action is needed over the next decade:
"The starting point is not a good one. And therefore, it's also a moment of truth to science tells us very clearly, and the reports tell us very clearly, you're not where you want to be in fighting climate change, you have to get better. And the second message is, it's not a question of 30/40 years, it's now it's this decade where we have to get better. Otherwise, we risk to reach irreversible tipping points."
Taking to her Twitter she says:
"Europe is on track to become the first climate neutral continent in the world by 2050.
We have cut our emissions by more than 30% compared to 1990, while growing our economy by 60%.
So the message is clear: the world can cut emissions and prosper. #COP26"
