Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley sent out a stark warning on the effects of a rise in global temperature on countries like hers.
At the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, PM Mottley encouraged other countries to commit to fighting climate change, as she said: “A two degree rise in temperature would be a death sentence for island nations, due to rising sea levels and more extreme weather.
As she asked for urgent action, she stressed: "We can work with whoever is ready to go, because the train is ready to leave." Almost 200 countries are being asked for their plans to cut emissions, and it could lead to major changes to people’s everyday lives.
The COP26 global climate summit in Glasgow is seen as crucial if climate change is to be brought under control.
