United Nations chief Antonio Guterres warns planet is heading toward ‘climate chaos’

The Hindu  

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on November 3 that the planet is heading towards irreversible “climate chaos” and urged global leaders at the upcoming climate summit in Egypt to put the world back on track to cut emissions, keep promises on climate financing and help developing countries speed their transition to renewable energy. Framework Convention on Climate Change — better known as COP27 — “must be the place to rebuild trust and re-establish the ambition needed to avoid driving our planet over the climate cliff.” He said the most important outcome of COP27, which begins November 6 in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, is to have “a clear political will to reduce emissions faster.” That requires a historical pact between richer developed countries and emerging economies, Mr. Guterres said. Mr. Guterres said that in the last few weeks, reports have painted “a clear and bleak picture” of global-warming greenhouse gas emissions still growing at record levels instead of going down 45% by 2030 as scientists say must happen. We must recognise loss and damage and we must create an institutional framework to deal with it.” The secretary-general said on Thursday that “getting concrete results on loss and damage is the litmus test of the commitment of the governments to close all of these gaps.” “COP27 must lay the foundations for much faster, bolder climate action now and in this crucial decade, when the global climate fight will be won or lost,” Mr. Guterres said.
