"Today at the summit, attended by world leaders, Sinn Féin have launched a document on green energy and tackling the climate emergency.
"Just like the Covid19 pandemic, climate change doesn't recognise borders and we need an all-Ireland approach.
"We must secure a fair transition to a low carbon economy and increase support for rural communities and family farms.
"There's an onus on big corporations to decarbonise and work to deliver green jobs and healthier, first-class public transport for all.
"Sinn Féin will play our part in the fight back against climate change and protecting the environment for future generations."
