Speaking on the HLAG’s immediate priorities, Ahluwalia said that climate change is at the top of the agenda this year in both developed and emerging market countries and the CoP 26 in November is expected to spell out what the international community needs to do.  “I hope the group can make a useful contribution to defining a workable strategy that takes account of the concerns of different participants,” he added.
