The world knows how to address the climate crisis -- what is needed now is the political will to act in time, veteran UK naturalist and broadcaster David Attenborough has told leaders at the G7 summit.

"Our scientific collaboration on Covid treatment and vaccines showed just how much we can achieve together when the goal is clear and urgent," he said.

"We know in detail what is happening to our planet; and we know many of the things we need to do during this decade. Tackling climate change is now as much a political and communications challenge as it is a scientific or technological one.

"We have the skills to address it in time. All we need is the global will to do so."

Attenborough, 95, addressed the G7 leaders via video as they entered the final day of the summit.
