"2019 is also a unique year in terms of advancement of unequivocal scientific evidence. We stand on a gigantic mountain of proof - through the IPCC special reports on Land, Ice and Oceans, the WMO led United in Science report to the UN Climate Summit in September, the 10 New Insights in Climate Science presented by Future Earth and Earth League earlier this week" and further reports. Among the other speakers of the High Level Event were Greta Thunberg, the UNFCCC High Level Champion Gonzalo Muñoz and the Minister for Ecological Transformation of Spain Teresa Ribeira, Axel van Trotsenburg, Managing Director of the World Bank or Elina Bradram from the European Commission DG Climate Action.
