Any of the discussions I have had with other governments, including the US Government and others, were not in the public sessions. However, there was a recognition that such is the urgency around the need to take climate action that I would not rule it out. At least to have a system that is truly global means that comparative competitive disadvantages would not start to arise. I think it is a possibility. This goes back to a quote from Mary Robinson, who made the point that if 4.5 billion tickets are sold each year, then €1 on each ticket would give quite a significant fund, and an ongoing fund, for the likes of loss and damage payments, which are needed in our world and are agreed upon. I think it is a real possibility. We certainly should be on the side of pushing for such climate justice, and we will.
