LONDON: British President of the COP26 climate change conference, Alok Sharma, has warned that the world is on the verge of “disaster” from climate damage, calling for urgent action.
The comment, was made in interviews with observers, coming before the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world’s top authority on climate science, will be released on Monday.
A paper on how close this world is a disaster that is potentially irreversible because extreme weather will be “the most cruel warning but human behavior greatly accelerates global warming,” the official said.
“I don’t think we run out of time but I think we will be very close to when we might run out of time.
We will see [from the IPCC] a very, very clear warning that unless we act now, unfortunately we will run out of time,” Sharma said on Saturday, noting the consequences of failure will be a “big disaster.” The British Minister who is responsible for the UN Climate talks Flagman noted that the impact of global warming has been proven throughout the world, citing deadly floods in Europe and China, and forest fires and recorded high temperatures Registered in the world.
“I don’t think there is another word for it.
You see every day what happened throughout the world.
Last year was the hottest in recording, the last decade was the hottest decade on the note,” Sharma added.
Commenting on the upcoming report, the official said that the paper would urge the international community – government, business and individuals – to encourage stronger actions on greenhouse gas emissions in COP26.
