On Thursday, Antonio Guterres, the UN secretary-general, asked wealthy and developing nations to “cross the ambition gap, the credibility gap, and the solidarity gap” during the next “COP 27” global climate meeting, which will be held in the Egyptian city of Sharm El Sheikh next week.
“It is time to reach a historic agreement between the advanced and emerging economies, in which the developed countries meet the commitment they made at the Paris 2015 summit, and make an additional effort to reduce emissions to put on the road to a world whose temperature does not rise by more than 1. 5 degrees Celsius,” Guterres told reporters. based on the English language version of the UN News Center.
The Secretary-General went on to say: “We can come to an agreement where the most generous financial and technical aid, in addition to backing from multilateral development banks and technology businesses, can reach the rising economies to hasten their conversion to renewable energy.
”
When humanity started using fossil fuels, which are responsible for gas emissions that produce warming, the goal was set to keep global warming “far less than two degrees Celsius beyond pre-industrial levels,” and if possible, at 1. 5 degrees.
Egypt aspires to take the lead on major international issues, including the most crucial one of our time: climate change.
The Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP 27, has been sought after and Egypt has made significant attempts to host it.
The United Nations holds its annual climate summit meetings with the goal of assisting nations in reaching agreements on measures to lower high temperatures throughout the world. The Climate Summit (COP 27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, begins on November 6.
Guterres: It’s time for Egypt to sign a historic climate deal.
