UN chief urges action to avert climate change 'catastrophe' - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

“We are here because the world is facing a grave climate emergency,” Guterres told a two-day Abu Dhabi Climate Meeting to prepare for a Climate Action Summit in New York in September.“Climate disruption is happening now… It is progressing even faster than the world’s top scientists have predicted,” the UN secretary general said.“Every week brings new climate-related devastation… floods, drought, heatwaves, wildfires and super storms,” Guterres said.

“I think what is important is to identify those proposals that have transformation impact,” De Alba told AFP.The UN chief held out hope that the Paris Agreement could cut harmful emissions and reduce global warming. France’s secretary of state for ecological and inclusive transition, Brune Poirson, taking part in the Abu Dhabi meeting, called for “mobilising private financing,” to fund climate programmes and actions.

A landmark report last year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said a safer cap of a 1.5 degree rise would see nations rapidly slash planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions via a sharp drawdown of fossil fuel use.

Repent and seek God.
