Addressing the final press conference of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) underway here today, Minister Pun pointed out the need of reducing emissions by around TAG_OPEN_div_52 6 percent every year for coming few years.
He said that even if the current climate commitments submitted by the countries under the TAG_OPEN_div_50 National Determined Contributions (NDCs) are implemented, there is a risk that the global temperature will rise above 2.5 degrees Celsius by the end of this century.
TAG_OPEN_div_48″Our responsibility is to keep the temperature rise above 1.5 degrees as low as possible, to limit it to a short period of time, and to bring the temperature back down to 1.5 degrees as quickly as possible,” Guterres said. He said that the limited and temporary conditions of warming will only intensify the devastating effects of climate change, which increases the need for climate justice.
Underlining the need for more financial support for developing countries and those vulnerable to climate change to adapt and address losses and losses, he stressed the need for the developed countries to fulfill the financial commitments made in the past COPP conferences.TAG_OPEN_div_46
He said that it is important to reduce dependence rather than changing suppliers as dependence on fossil fuels puts countries at risk of price increases, geopolitical tensions and instability. This requires massive investment and expansion in clean energy, electricity transmission networks, energy storage, energy efficiency and clean electrification, he said.TAG_OPEN_div_42
He said that climate change should not be limited to environmental issues but should be linked to peace, development, human rights and social justice. He said that climate-related disasters are causing global instability by increasing hunger, displacement, poverty, debt burden and competition for resources.TAG_OPEN_div_40
He said the COP process should be pursued in a way that bridges the gap between the needs demanded by science and political commitment, and that the disproportionate impact of fossil fuel advocacy groups must be addressed.TAG_OPEN_div_36
He also mentioned the Roadmap to End Fossil Fuel Transition and Deforestation, Clean Electrification, Global Zero Waste Commitments, Electricity Transmission Network Expansion and Early Warning for All as some of the important initiatives put forward by his presidency of COP30.TAG_OPEN_div_34
“Changes in renewable energy technology and economy have increased the possibility of a clean, secure and reliable energy future, requiring political will, courage and swift implementation,” he said.TAG_OPEN_div_32
Participating in the COPE conference, the last TAG_OPEN_div_30 of his nearly 10-year tenure as secretary-general, he made it clear that no single country can tackle climate change alone. He also said the United Nations has further strengthened its implementation cooperation in areas such as early warning systems, power transmission networks, methane emissions and critical minerals. “We share the same planet and whether we like it or not, we share our destiny,” he said.
