I will return to a point that Mr. Sadlier made in his opening statement. Forgive me if I am the only person in the room who is not familiar with the term "chief heat officer" in public administration. There was a reference to Africa's chief heat officer, who was appointed in Sierra Leone. Mr. Sadlier might expand a little on the nature of the work of the chief heat officer, the manner of the appointment and the public reaction to the appointment. Would he anticipate other affected states and countries following suit? COP26 will obviously deal with a range of issues touching on personal, national and international responsibility. Even if money were to be made available to the chief heat officer, how would it be spent in a place such as Sierra Leone? I make the point to highlight the enormity of the task across a range of issues. Does Mr. Sadlier feel that the office of the chief heat officer is something we will hear much more about in forthcoming times?
