LONDON/JAKARTA -- Alok Sharma, president of the recently concluded COP26 climate summit, struggled to hold back tears as delegates finalized the official statement after two weeks of meetings.
"May I just say to all the delegates that I apologize for the way this process has unfolded and I am deeply sorry," Sharma said. "I also understand the deep disappointment. But as you have noted, it is also vital that we protect this package."
