An unnamed climate scientist addressing country delegates at the United Nations said that leaders must increase ambition to limit warming, saying, "your decisions matter today more than ever." The scientist added that "the science says that every bit of warming we avoid matters."

Speaker 1, a meeting participant, urged immediate, decisive leadership: "It's absolutely critical that leaders take action. Leaders need to be bold. Leaders need to be decisive. This is the moment for ambition."

A separate speaker referred to regional commitments, saying, "Europe will stay the course on our climate ambition," and stated that "our national determined contribution would range between 6672%." That numeric figure was not explained in the record. Another remark noted that "our Pacific family is partnering with Australia in our bid to host COP 31."

The climate scientist framed the stakes in human terms: "What's at stake is not the planet. It will continue to orbit the sun long after we're gone. What's at stake is everything that matters to us. The people, the places, and the things we love."

The remarks in the transcript were appeals and statements of intent; the record contains no formal motions, votes, or adopted measures. Speakers repeatedly invoked science, law and economics as reasons for action but did not cite specific statutes or enactments in the excerpted comments.
