GLASGOW — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Tuesday that new infrastructure was needed to keep alive a target of capping global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius and that investment in that infrastructure could help lessen global inequality.

“To keep 1.5°C in sight to reach global net-zero, and to protect vulnerable countries from the impacts of climate change means the development of new, clean and green infrastructure,” Johnson told a press conference at the COP26 event in Glasgow.

“Our pursuit of global net-zero can drive global leveling up, helping developing economies fast-track their way to a prosperous, clean, and green future.”
