So I think the question is,' Why not now ? What's the delay ?' Developing countries deserve to have the confidence going into COP 26 that the Paris Agreement will be delivered. And it can't go down to the wire. These leaders need to prioritise building trust and momentum now with the four and a half months left to COP 26.
