The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has warned that “there is still much to do” after the 2015 Paris Agreement and has demanded “greater global action“against climate change.
Thus, has called for ambition to be increased “on all fronts”with the collaboration of the entire society, to advance towards the objectives of the Paris Agreement and respond to the climate crisis, after the publication of a technical report on the first global review.
In the report, has called for “greater global action” against climate change after confirming that the Paris Agreement “has inspired widespread action that has significantly reduced projections of future warming.”
Although it recognizes that the participants in the 2015 Paris Agreement have taken “extensive measures to address climate change and its impacts”calls for “rapidly” accelerating ambition and notes that there are “many creative and viable solutions to overcome the challenges that are ready to be implemented.”
“There is much to do”
The UN highlights that the scope of the technical discussion for the preparation of the report “was very broad, including mitigation, adaptation and support, as well as loss and damage and response measures.”
The technical dialogues, as he assures, were based “on the best possible science,” using data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other reports, with “broad participation of experts.”
Throughout the discussions, it became clear that the Paris Agreement “has inspired widespread action that has significantly reduced projections of future warming.” The report reflects that this global review process “is taking place at a crucial time to inspire greater global action in response to the climate crisis.”
The report concludes that “there is progress, but much remains to be done” and that, although there are known “gaps”the technical findings highlighted “existing and emerging opportunities and creative solutions to close these gaps.”
Act with “ambition and urgency”
In all areas the document highlights good practices and proposals to accelerate implementation, action and support. The report’s conclusions show that “much more is now needed, on all fronts and by all actors, to meet the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement.”
In this context, the president of COP28, Sultan Al Jaber, has indicated that To keep the 1.5 degree goal within reach, we must act with “ambition and urgency” to reduce emissions by 43% by 2030.
For this reason, The COP28 Presidency has proposed an “ambitious” action agenda focused on accelerating a “fair and well-managed” energy transition that leaves no one behindsolving climate finance, focusing on people’s lives and livelihoods, and grounding everything with full inclusion.”
“I believe we can achieve all this while creating sustainable economic growth for our people, but we must urgently disrupt the status quo and unite like never before to move from ambition to action and from rhetoric to real results,” added Al Jaber. .
For his part, the United Nations Climate Change Executive Secretary, Simon Stiell, has urged governments to “carefully” study the report’s findings and “understand what it means for them and the ambitious action they must take next.” . “The same applies to companies, communities and other interested parties,” he concludes.
