Pa Ousman Jarju

The Gambia's climate envoy and minister worked through the Least Developed Countries Group and co-facilitated a working group on action before 2020 at the Paris talks. He described the temperature goal, loss and damage, and recognition of poorer states' needs as gains from sustained diplomatic engagement. His place here is about pooled negotiating capacity: a coalition could press concerns that one small delegation would struggle to keep on the agenda alone.
