United Nations climate chief Simon Stiell is pitching climate action as an antidote to the instability and tumult besetting the global order.
In a message delivered Thursday in Turkey, host of this year’s U.N. climate talks, he called on countries to pull together and deliver their climate pledges with greater speed and urgency.
“In the face of the current chaos, we can, and must, drive forward a new era of international climate cooperation,” said Stiell, executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

He called cooperation “an antidote to the chaos and coercion of this moment.” Clean energy, Stiell argued, was the “obvious solution” to the spiraling costs of fossil fuel reliance.
