COP26 President Alok Sharma and Bonang Matheba Commit to Defending the Planet | Global Citizen Live

President of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) and UK Cabinet Minister Alok Sharma joins South Africa’s Bonang Matheba to pledge $52 million to the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), calling on government leaders to protect the world’s most vulnerable people from climate change.

Global Citizen Live calls for action to halt climate change and for wealthy countries to deliver on the $100B climate pledge, $6B for famine relief, and COVID-19 vaccine justice for all. On Sept. 25, 2021, over 60M COVID-19 vaccines, 157M trees, and more than US$1.1B in commitments to climate, famine, and COVID-19 response efforts were announced as part of the partner-led campaign. The Global Citizen Live campaign continues in the lead-up to the G20 Summit and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) later this year.
