Berlin: The world is in “disaster lines” towards a hotter future unless the government makes a more ambitious promise to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the head of the United Nations said Friday.
A new UN report reviewing all the national commitments submitted by the signing of the Paris climate forces until July 30 found that they would lead to emissions to rise by almost 16% in 2010, compared to the level of 2010.
Scientists said the world had to start sharply curbing emissions immediately and added Not more into the atmosphere in 2050 than that can be absorbed if it will meet the most ambitious goals of the Global Temperature Increase in Paris (2.7 Fahrenheit) by 2100.
“The world is on a disaster path of up to 2.7 degrees (Celsius) heating,” Secretary said General UN Antonio Guterres.
Experts say the planet has been warmed by 1.1 C since pre-industrial time.
“We need 45%.
Cut emissions in 2030 to achieve carbon neutrality in the middle of the century,” Guterres said.
Some 113 countries including the United States and the European Union submitted an update for their emission targets, also known as a national contribution or NDC specified, at the end of July.
.
Their promises will result in a 12% emission reduction for countries at the end of the decade – numbers that can be more than double if some government conditional promises and provisions about aiming for carbon neutrality in 2050.
e translates into action.
“It’s a positive side of the image,” said UN Climate Head Patricia Espinosa, whose office arranged the latest report.
“Others are more serious.” Dozens of countries, including large emitors such as China, India and Saudi Arabia, failed to submit new promises in time.
Espinosa called for leaders at the UN Annual Meeting next week in New York to prioritize a stronger commitment in time the climate summit will come in Glasgow.
“Leaders must be involved in honest discussions that are driven not only with a very legitimate desire to protect national interests, but also with the same goals that have commanded to contribute to humanity’s welfare,” he said.
“We don’t have time to reserve, and people around the world expect anything.” Espinosa added that some public appointments, such as Chinese neutral carbon goals in 2060, have not been officially submitted to the United Nations and so it is not taken into account for the report.
Updates, which will include further commitment submitted at that time, will be released shortly before the Glasgow summit, he said.
However, environmental compliments and representatives from several vulnerable countries expressed their disappointment at the findings.
“We have to ask what is needed for some of the main emitors to heed the scientific findings and give our world from the no return point,” Webson Aubrey from Antigua and Barbuda, which describes the association of small island countries.
“The findings are clear – if we have to avoid it.
The amplification of our destructive climate impacts, we need a major.
Emitters and all G20 countries to implement and attach to more ambitious NDCs and make a strong commitment to zero-zero emissions in 2050.
“Jennifer Morgan, Greenpeace International Executive Director, said the meeting The purpose of Paris will only be possible with “bold leadership and Bold decision.” “The government allows personal interests to call climate shots, rather than serving the global community,” he said.
“Passing money to future generations must stop – we live in climate emergencies now.”
