"The Guardian" comments on Rama's criticism: What does it mean

State leaders, ministers and officials from 200 countries of the world gathered for two days in Baku, Azerbaijan to participate in the proceedings of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, where the Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, also participated.

According to " The Guardian ", Rama went off script, saying he left his "well-prepared speech" behind as he watched the other leaders make their statements on silent screens on comfortable armchairs in an adjoining room at the premises. Cop29 in Baku.

“People there eat, drink, meet and take pictures together, while the images of the silent leaders are constantly played in the background. To me, this looks exactly like what happens in the real world every day. Life goes on, with its old habits and our speeches, full of good words about the fight against climate change, do not change anything" , he said.

Rama pointed to the UN Secretary General's statement yesterday, stressing that carbon emissions increased between the last COP meeting and the one held these two days.

"What does it mean for the future of the world if the biggest polluters carry on as usual?" , Rama asked. "What are we going to do in this meeting, over and over again, if there is no common political will on the horizon to go beyond words and come together for meaningful action?".
