Sturgeon calls for ‘meaningful steps’ at COP 27

Scotland’s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, calls for world leaders to take “meaningful steps” towards the goals agreed upon at the COP 26 in Glasgow ahead of this year’s conference.

The agreements from last year include reducing coal usage and financing the shift to net zero.

The first minister said: “For many countries, particularly in the global south, this must be the COP where the global north not only deliver on our promises to finance adaption and mitigation, but recognises the need to address the loss and damage experienced by countries already impacted by climate change.”
