Former US President Barack Obama spoke at COP26 in Glasgow on Monday, urging wealthier nations to take a more impactful role in the fight against climate change.

“All of us have sacrifices to make, but those of us who live in big, wealthy nations, those of us who helped to participate in the problem, we have an added burden. To make sure we are working with and helping and assisting those who are less responsible and less able, but are more vulnerable to this oncoming crisis,” stated Obama.

“The truth is that organising a lot of nations around the world, all of whom have legacies, energy systems, vested interests, politics, etcetera. Coordinating all that to move the entire planets energy grid in a new direction is not going to happen overnight,” he went on to say.

The UN Climate Summit in Glasgow, Scotland, has been in progress since 31 October.

Following an invitation by the United Nations, government representatives and experts from around 200 countries discussed for a fortnight how humanity can still contain the accelerating global warming to a tolerable level.

SOT, Barack Obama, Former US president: “Sometimes it may feel like the United States, like some other countries, are not always moving as fast or following through on their commitments as much as we would like them too. It is not for lack of trying by the kinds of people who you are working with here. We got our contentious battle, it is one of those things about democracy, it turns out you do not get always your way.”
