UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Monday confirms that both developing and advanced countries “must do their work” to achieve net zero emission objectives in 2050, expressing hopes that countries such as the US, Europe will understand that they need to do maximum without waiting What other people do.
Guterres and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson held a closed door of informal climate leaders about climate action with a small group and representative of the head of state and government.
Roundtable “will be an opportunity for national leaders to show solidarity and ambition to maintain the purpose of the world’s 1.5C temperature within reach,” the United Nations said.
Speaking to reporters here after Roundtable, Guterres said based on the commitment of current member countries, the world was on “disaster lines” up to 2.7 degrees of heating.
“Science tells us that whatever is above 1.5 degrees will be a disaster.
To limit the increase in temperature to 1.5 degrees, we need a cutting of 45 percent emissions by 2030 so that we can achieve carbon neutrality in the mid-century,” he said.
The head of the United Nations said that while developed countries need to lead in a nationally determined contribution, it is also important for some developing countries to work extra and effectively contribute to reducing emissions.
Guterres added that he believed there was still a long way to relate to reducing emissions.
G20 countries represent 80% of emissions.
He said it would not make sense if the developed country that had committed to zero zero in 2015 said that they had done their work on climate action and now it was up to developing countries, especially the economy that emerged, to do their bits.
Guterres added that it would not make sense for developing countries to say that developed countries had polluted more in the past and greater responsibility to cut emissions on them.
“I mean this argument is no longer valid.
Everyone has to do their work.
Developed countries and economics that arise must be able to contribute – all – for the possibility of reaching net zero in 2050 and reducing emissions that are very strong in 2030.
And us Not yet there.
“And I hope that the contact being founded by different countries, US and Chinese but also with India, with Europe and with other different key partners it will allow all these countries to understand that they need to do maximum Without waiting for what other people did, “he said.
China, USA, India, EU and Russia are one of the largest carbon emitors in the world.
Guterres said the point is that” we need decisive actions now around the nall commitment from all countries and The private sector “.
Overcoming the specific challenges of energy, the head of the United Nations said the government must change subsidies from fossil fuels and prog Resif Phase Exit Coal Use.
“If all coal power plants are planned to be operational, we will not only be clear above 1.5 degrees – we will be above 2 degrees.
Paris’s target will rise in smoke,” he said.
While 45 percent cut.
Emissions are needed in 2030 to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees, Guterres regret that the commitment by countries to date implies a 16 percent increase in greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 compared to the 2010 level.
Of course, there is a high risk COP26 failure, “he said.
The United Nations 621 Climate Change Conference is scheduled to be held at Glasgow this year.
Guterres said he asked the leaders to do what was needed to ensure successful COP26 and it marked the turning point.
In front of COP26, the international community It should be delivered in three fields, he said, added, “First, keeping the goal of 1.5 degrees within reach.
Second, provide US $ 100 billion a year for climate action in developing countries.
Third, increase funds for adaptation to at least 50 percent of the total public climate finance.
