Queen Elizabeth Calls for 'True Statesmanship' From Leaders in Message to COP26 Climate Summit

Queen Elizabeth II called for world leaders to demonstrate “true statesmanship” at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, during an address shown to the conference on November 1.

“None of us underestimates the challenges ahead: but history has shown that when nations come together in common cause, there is always room for hope. Working side by side, we have the ability to solve the most insurmountable problems and to triumph over the greatest of adversities,” the Queen said.

“I, for one, hope that this conference will be one of those rare occasions where everyone will have the chance to rise above the politics of the moment, and achieve true statesmanship.” Credit: The Royal Family via Storyful
