In his speech reviewing the events of last month’s COP26 climate summit, Mr. Şahin elaborated on the potential effects of the issues agreed on at the summit, as well as those that weren’t, on international climate policy. Stating that the summit had a number of promising developments on the issue of formulating an aid plan to countries that will be most heavily affected by the climate crisis, Mr. Şahin nevertheless stressed that the world is still far from a desirable point on reducing emissions.
