Summary Draft 2: "Five years since Paris Agreement, world must get ambitious on climate action"

During the summit, 45 nationally determined contributions(NDC) and 24 net-zero commitments have been announced by leaders worldwide to reduce the impacts of climate change. Sharma stated that the British government has withdrawn their monetary support for the fossil fuel energy sector overseas. Additionally, he mentioned the United Kingdom’s (UK) and Singapore’s government exchange on educating each other regarding grid decarbonisation. He claims that Singapore plays a vital role in supporting regional energy transitions, keen on imparting its knowledge for a sustainable planet. Thus, he believes that contribution is not an individual effort, and it is proven by our existing pandemic to work together and achieve success. In my opinion, I agree with Sharma that working together, sharing crucial information and resources will be the key to combat climate change.
