US, China, India, Europe Need to Do Maximum to Reduce Greenhouse Emissions Without Waiting for Others: UN

News 18  

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Monday asserted that both developing and developed nations must do their job to reach the goal of net zero emissions by 2050, expressing hope that countries such as the US, China, India, Europe will understand they need to do the maximum without waiting for what the others are doing. To limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees, we need a 45 per cent cut in emissions by 2030 so we can reach carbon neutrality by mid-century, he said. Guterres added that it would also not make sense for emerging economies to say that the developed countries have polluted more in the past and greater responsibility to cut emissions falls on them. While a 45 per cent cut in emissions is required by 2030 to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees, Guterres lamented that commitments by countries to date imply an increase of 16 per cent in greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 compared to 2010 levels.
