I met the United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, Mr John Kerry on the fringes of the inaugural Africa Climate Summit which I attended in Nairobi, Kenya earlier this month.
We agreed that it would be beneficial to arrange an official meeting before COP28 to discuss how we can work collectively on addressing the climate crisis, including with respect to increasing implementation and ambition and promoting a successful COP.
Irish officials are currently liaising with their US counterparts with a view to scheduling such a meeting.
