The opening remarks has be given by H.E Franz Jessen, Former EU Ambassador to the Philippines.
“Looking ahead we do, unfortunately, face a challenge that is of a much larger magnitude that COVID19. I am of course referring to climate change. This summer we have read many stories about record breaking temperature, climatic challenges, rising water level – all consequences of climate change. If we are to solve the climate change challenge it will require an unprecedented international cooperation. A cooperation at a level that we so far never have seen. If we continue to focus on our national differences, then I have little hope that we will be able to overcome the climate change challenge. Here truly head and heart are both needed to find solutions.”
