Alex Salmond issues climate warning
Addressing the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi yesterday, Alex Salmond said that, as Scotland was a “world leader” in the switch to a low-carbon economy, it was “only fitting we should be part of the foremost annual meeting committed to finding solutions to the energy needs of the future”.
Mr Salmond spoke to a number of world leaders at the event, including UN secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon, Premier Wen of China, Atifete Jahjaga, the president of Kosovo, and Kim Hwang-sik, the prime minister of South Korea.
