00:00So at this COP, I was pleased to announce that we're building on our reputation as a climate
00:06leader, with the UK's 2035 NDC target to reduce all greenhouse gas emissions by at least 81%
00:17on 1990 levels. Our goal of 1.5 degrees is aligned with our goals for growth.
00:25But a global problem also requires global partnership, responsible international
00:30cooperation, which is why we took the opportunity at this COP to again urge all parties to come
00:38forward with ambitious targets of their own, as we all agreed at the last COP.
