Washington, United States:
Humanity can no longer delay “ambitious” climate action, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned Monday immediately after the release of a landmark UN report warning of developing climate alter peril.
Years in the generating, the sobering report authorized by 195 nations shines a harsh spotlight on governments dithering in the face of mounting proof that climate alter is an existential threat.
“This moment requires world leaders, the private sector, and individuals to act together with urgency and do everything it takes to protect our planet,” Blinken mentioned in a statement.
“We cannot delay ambitious climate action any longer,” he added.
With only 1.1 degrees Celsius of warming so far, an unbroken cascade of deadly, climate disasters bulked up by climate alter has swept the world this summer season, from asphalt-melting heatwaves in Canada to untamable wildfires sweeping Greece and California.
“We are seeing the detrimental impacts of these events on the lives and livelihoods of people around the world,” Blinken mentioned.
