Plenković: Climate change alarms are ringing louder than ever; we must all act without delay"It is now clear that we can no longer reach the initial goal of the Paris Agreement to keep global warming below 1.5°C. Without a radical shift, the cumulative CO2 emission, which inevitably leads to a warming of 2°C, will be reached in two decades,'' Prime Minister Plenković asserted today in his speech at the UN conference on climate change, warning of catastrophic consequences for the entire world if it is not prevented. He called for intensified efforts to keep global warming below 2°C, recalling that the richest 10% of the world are responsible for half of CO2 emissions, while the poorest half of humanity creates only 8% of emissions. "More than ever, we must act without delay and in proportion to our impact on global warming," he said. 02.12.2023. | News
