                    "World political leaders are descending on New York for the UN general assembly and some of them are putting the climate crisis on the agenda as they spoke on Monday at the start of the city\u2019s annual Climate Week.This year\u2019s Climate Week \u2013 which runs alongside UNGA \u2013 comes after months of extreme heat in large parts of the world including Europe and the US, wildfires in Africa, flash flooding in Asia and a record-breaking El Ni\u00f1o.The prime minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, gave the opening keynote address Monday while Iceland\u2019s prime minister, Kristr\u00fan Frostad\u00f3ttir, gave the closing remarks. Both spoke about the effects of the climate crisis on their countries, the measures they are taking to transition away from fossil fuels, and their support for other countries to do the same.Kristr\u00fan Frostad\u00f3ttir holds a press conference after Iceland rejected EU accession talks in a close-fought referendum, in Reykjavik, Iceland, 30 August 2026.  Photograph: Leonhard F\u00f6ger/Reuters\u201cGlobal weather has always been treacherous. But the science told us unmistakably that as the world warms these events will become more frequent and intense. And those scientific forecasts have come to be,\u201d Albanese said, highlighting the country\u2019s efforts to support other Pacific nations in fighting the climate crisis.Frostad\u00f3ttir said the Nordic country\u2019s move to geothermal energy was catalysed by the global oil crisis. In the early-1970s, most Icelandic homes were burning imported oil for heat.\u201cHousehold budgets were hit and a small island nation, far from every market, every supplier, learned the hard way to depend on something you cannot control,\u201d she said. \u201cSo we made a choice. Instead of riding out the volatility, we turned to what was right under our feet.\u201dIn a matter of years, Reykjav\u00edk built a large-scale geothermal district heating system. Other towns in Iceland followed, many switching within a decade. \u201cThis took unwavering political support. Financial support mechanisms that helped ordinary households make the switch without ruinous upfront costs,\u201d Frostad\u00f3ttir said. \u201cAnd, perhaps rarest of all in today\u2019s world, across party consensus that outlasted several governments.\u201dNow, nearly every home in Iceland is heated with renewable energy, and more than 90% of it is geothermal.Yet little was said on the opening day of Climate Week about the US government\u2019s recent efforts to block climate action, such as the Trump administration\u2019s move to pay nearly $4bn in taxpayer dollars to stop offshore wind projects and measures to weaken emissions standards for vehicles and coal-fired power plants. Instead of talking about political stalling and backsliding on climate action, speakers focused on the security and economic reasons that are making the need to transition impossible to ignore.Selwin Hart, assistant secretary general for climate action at the UN, said the Iran war had further proven this point. \u201cThis crisis, as horrible as it is, is really serving as a wake-up call for countries, businesses and people really to break the fossil fuel addiction and accelerate the transition as fast and as quickly as possible,\u201d he told the Guardian.Selwin Hart speaks during the international conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, Colombia, on 28 April 2026.  Photograph: Ra\u00fal Arboleda/AFP/Getty ImagesLt Gen Richard Nugee, a retired senior British army officer, said that militaries need to be able to operate in the environment in which they find themselves, and those environments are changing. \u201cA really good example of that is the sea in the gulf is getting so hot and is predicted to get so hot that the water won\u2019t cool the engines of our ships,\u201d he said. Nugee said that militaries should be paying attention to climate adaption technologies, not only for their lower emissions but their potential for strategic advantages.\u201cI don\u2019t believe there is renewable energy that will drive a 70-ton tank. It\u2019s not that,\u201d he said. \u201cBut our small armed vehicles, why not make them hybrid? Which is better for our stealth, better for the crews because there\u2019s less noise and less vibration.\u201dThe UK\u2019s foreign minister Ed Miliband also spoke about the risks of continued reliance on fossil fuels given the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the US\u2019s war in Iran, describing the inherent instability as the \u201cfossil fuel roller coaster\u201d.Ed Miliband at the opening ceremony of the Climate Week.  Photograph: Mick Tsikas/AAP\u201cClimate and nature must be embedded in national security systems, in threat assessments, and contingency planning,\u201d Miliband said. \u201cCountries need to pool information because a shock beginning in one country can rapidly travel through supply chains, financial markets and migration patterns to other countries.\u201dMeanwhile, the private sector is using the transition to renewable energy to protect its bottom line. Karen Pflug, the chief sustainability officer at Ingka Group, the largest Ikea retailer, said that energy efficiency in their stores has allowed the company to save millions of dollars every year.Pflug said the company just announced a new solar park in South Carolina, which will have 178,000 solar panels. \u201cSo regardless of what\u2019s happening from a political point of view I think it\u2019s in fact making good business sense,\u201d she said. \u201cThe economic imperative is there.\u201dLeaders also stressed the need to transition sooner than later. Iceland\u2019s Frostad\u00f3ttir said: \u201cThe only real question left for leaders, for all of us in this room, is what it takes to keep moving forward faster than the disruptions that have yet to hit us. Our answer, from a small island in the North Atlantic is this: start before you must. Build the resilience before the crisis tests it.\u201dClimate Week has been held annually in New York since 2009 and organizers said this year\u2019s iteration will be the largest yet, with more than 100,000 attendees drawn from politics, business and activism. But they also admitted an uptick in \u201cclimate hushing\u201d whereby business leaders and politicians have shied away from talking about the climate crisis amid a relentless focus on wars, inflation and economic strife that has swept the world.\u201cThere has been this disconnect this summer where we have felt climate change like no other year with some massive disasters and the degree to which leaders want to speak about this issue,\u201d said Helen Clarkson, chief executive of the Climate Group, organizer of Climate Week.\u201cUndoubtedly people care about the cost of living but we see in the polling people care about the climate too, they aren\u2019t oblivious to what is going on. A word we heard a lot today in speeches is that we need courage to make that connection to people and join the dots.\u201d"
