Which one among the following was the first country to declare 'Climate Emergency'?

The United Kingdom became the first country in the world to declare a national 'climate emergency' on May 1, 2019. This historic move followed intense pressure from environmental activists, such as Extinction Rebellion, who staged large-scale protests in London. While the Scottish First Minister and the Welsh Parliament made similar declarations in late April 2019, the UK House of Commons was the first national sovereign parliament to pass a motion declaring a climate emergency for the entire country. Ireland followed shortly after, becoming the second country to do so on May 9, 2019. These declarations are largely symbolic, aimed at signaling the urgency of the climate crisis and moving away from 'business as usual' policies to achieve net-zero emissions. Other nations like New Zealand eventually declared their own national emergencies in late 2020.
