Keeping global temperature rises below 1.5 degrees Celsius is still possible but will require private sector funding, top climate diplomat for the U.S. John Kerry said on Wednesday.

Speaking at a Bloomberg Green event on the sidelines of the U.N. climate summit COP27, Kerry said that meeting the goal would require a global effort and that this, along with reducing methane emissions were key areas of cooperation with China.
