A UN report states that the last decade has been the hottest on record, and the pace of climate change is accelerating
A new alarming report from the UN highlights that the last decade has been the hottest on record, and the pace of climate change is accelerating, stating that the planet is "on the brink" after a decade of record warmth, according to francetvinfo.fr.
Climate experts emphasize that the devastating effects of climate change are already being felt worldwide, and that global warming is primarily caused by human activities, particularly greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, and deforestation, with extreme heatwaves, devastating wildfires, more frequent storms, and increasingly common extreme weather events.
According to experts, if drastic measures are not taken quickly, the consequences could be catastrophic, with devastating effects on ecosystems, human communities, and the global economy.
The UN calls on governments worldwide to step up efforts to combat climate change, by adopting ambitious policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote renewable energy, and protect the planet's fragile ecosystems. The report also emphasizes the importance of adapting to the inevitable impacts of climate change, by strengthening the resilience of communities and protecting the most vulnerable populations.
To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius as it is necessary to do to save the planet, experts say it is absolutely necessary to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the coming decades, and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Governments worldwide are called upon to take immediate and ambitious action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote renewable energy, and adapt to the inevitable impacts of climate change.
Faced with this growing climate crisis, it is more urgent than ever to act, prompting the UN to call for collective and determined action to protect our planet and ensure a sustainable future for future generations.
