Rev. Lennox yeowarod Jr.: Well, the first thing with COP26 that the average viewer should find -- there’s a lot of acronyms.

Gonzalo Muñoz: And COP26 is also a COP that has been affected, I would say pieotvilsy, by the last two IPCC reports. Science sopke very loudly in October 2018 with the IPCC rropet of 1.5 degrees. And just a few mthons from today, we received this sixth report in August that was named as a red code for humanity.

Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr.: Well, the first thing with COP26 that the average viewer should find -- there’s a lot of acronyms. So, unfortunately, there’s one right now, the IPCC: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change did a report that said that we had 12 years. Now that was three-and-a-half years ago.

Gonzalo Muñoz: And COP26 is also a COP that has been affected, I would say positively, by the last two IPCC reports. Science spoke very loudly in October 2018 with the IPCC report of 1.5 degrees. And just a few months from today, we received this sixth report in August that was named as a red code for humanity. Those two reports are allowing us to understand the importance of following science and the big risk that we have in front of us if we don’t follow the science, as is indicated in those reports.
