Extract from the speech:
"Excellencies, distinguished guests, dear friends,
View moreView less"Excellencies, distinguished guests, dear friends,
It is a pleasure to be in Shanghai.
I thank the China Meteorological Administration and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment for convening this forum.
The Forum shows one of the clearest ways AI can serve humanity: by helping save lives.
The climate crisis keeps accelerating.
The last 11 years were the hottest ever recorded.
Scientists now expect a temporary overshoot of the 1.5-degree limit.
We must keep it as short and small as possible.
By drastically reducing emissions this decade.
And by accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels to renewables.
Every fraction of a degree matters.
And so does every hour of warning."
