Leaders of Commonwealth nations are expected to call for increased climate action at a meeting in Rwanda this week, ahead of the United Nations climate change summit in the seaside resort of Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt later this year.
“Tackling climate change will require the most significant political, social and economic effort that the world has ever seen,” Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland said, speaking at a meeting on the margins of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in the Rwandan capital Kigali.
