Guterres: Humanity has the choice of reconciliation or damnation.
Guterres: As we drive down the motorway toward climatic hell, we keep our foot on the gas.
At the Conference of the Parties on Climate COB 27, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated on Monday that the world must choose between “solidarity” and “collective death” in order to combat global warming and its escalating consequences.
In Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, Guterres emphasised that “humanity is facing the choice of cooperation or perdition. Either a commitment to collective death or a new era of climate solidarity.
His demand for “a historical era between advanced and emerging economies, a commitment of global solidarity” was made in a world that was deeply divided.
He explained that this would lead to “sustainable energy that is accessible for all” and “end the dependence on fossil fuel sources, cease the construction of coal stations.
The Secretary -General of the United Nations considered that it is “unacceptable” to be other crises, especially the war in Ukraine, which led the struggle for climate “to” second place “in the priority ladder, stressing that this leads to” self -destruction.
”
He emphasised that despite the fact that many conflicts around the world are “related to climate instability,” “the emergency issues of today should not constitute a cause for decline or the adoption of green washing.”
He continued, “We are in the process of losing the struggle for our life. Our planet fast approaches the points of no return that will cause climate chaos, not vice versa.
”
As we continue to push the gas pedal, we travel the motorway that leads to climate hell.
“We must not lose sight of the fact that our war on nature constitutes a grave violation of human rights.
On November 15, the globe will officially have eight billion inhabitants. Guterres asked, “What do we say when the child becomes a large eight billion and asks us: What did you do for our world and our planet when you gave you the opportunity?” Remorse his appeal for a quick and bold action.
Ghutish also urged for more assistance to be provided to the most vulnerable nations in order to help them recover from the “losses and damages” that storms, floods, droughts, and other extreme phenomena caused in such nations.
Despite the fact that this last topic is one of the most delicate ones at COP 27, Guterres stated that “achieving concrete results in terms of losses and damage will be a test of states’ commitments to the success of COP 27.
“There is one thing certain: whomever surrenders will necessarily lose, so let us all strive together,” he emphasised, despite this very sombre depiction of the status of the world. Let’s triumph!”
