‘What on earth are we doing?’ – Albanian PM tears up speech at COP29

“What on earth are we doing?” – some choice words today from one European leader at the UN’s climate summit in Azerbaijan, as developing countries warned that their survival was not “merely an option”.

Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama said he had ripped up his speech altogether, as he appealed to delegates to take urgent action, and declared that good intentions alone would change nothing.
