Our Executive Director of Governments and Policy, Champa Patel, opened the Under2 Coalition General Assembly with a speech on how we can find effective and lasting climate solutions by working together across sectors – Uniting Leaders, Driving Change.
Good morning everyone. On behalf of the Under2 Coalition Secretariat, Climate Group, I’d like to welcome you all to the annual Under2 Coalition General Assembly.
I’m Champa Patel and in my role as Executive Director of Governments and Policy at Climate Group, I’m really excited to be hosting you all at this important moment in the spirit of Uniting Leaders, Driving Change here at COP28.
I started this role almost a year ago and in that time I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the leadership of the Under2 Coalition. I’m so excited that our progress has culminated in us being a stronger Coalition than ever before – taking climate action and moving the needle towards achieving a just, resilient and equitable net zero – further, faster – but most importantly together.
For that, and for being here today to push your leadership at COP28, I thank you – not only those who have long been supporters of our work, but also new ones that have joined us.
