He is expected to discuss some of the ways in which this session has brought science to the General Assembly, such as through science briefings.
In the longer-term, the President will say that he hopes to see a coalition of scientists that can advise the General Assembly in shaping key decisions and validate their implementation.
QUESTIONS
And James, you asked me yesterday about Vanuatu and others Member States’ campaign to bring the issue of climate justice to the ICJ. The timing is obviously up to Vanuatu and Member States. From our side, no meet has yet been requested or scheduled.
On Michelle’s question about a special tribunal for Russia, as I said yesterday, there is nothing to announce.
