"We call on companies and governments around the world
to do all we can to make 2021 the year we turn the corner for good," Cook
said, according to prepared remarks seen by Reuters.
Cook did not call for specific goals during his remarks but
disclosed that Apple is assisting 95 of its suppliers to transition to
renewable energy, up from a figure of 70 disclosed in July. The iPhone maker
earlier this year said it has become carbon-neutral for its corporate
operations and set out plans to make its full supply chain and product lineup
carbon-neutral by 2030.
The summit is being held on the fifth anniversary of the
international Paris climate agreement and ahead of UN talks next year in
Glasgow, Scotland.
US President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from
the Paris Agreement in 2017. Cook publicly criticised the withdrawal as
"wrong for our planet," though he did not name Trump in his
criticism.
