VIDEO “We’re still not seeing the action that is needed to address that urgency” says UNFCCC Deputy Executive Secretary Ovais Sarmad

 

I was invited by the UN SDG Action Campaign to interview Ovais Sarmad, Deputy Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), at the SDG Global Fest in Bonn.


In this video interview, Sarmad talks about his concerns, of climate change not being addressed properly despite the science showing how urgent it is to act if we want to avoid irreversible consequences on the planet. We also talked about climate action, and I asked him what Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion were bringing to the discussions.
