"By the next COP, all participating parties must deliver new economy-wide national climate action plans," UN Secretary-General António Guterres said at the opening ceremony of the World Leaders Climate Action Summit at COP29 on November 12, APA reports.
He added that three priorities have been identified to address the problem of global warming, the implementation of which will ensure a 9% reduction in temperature every year by 2030: "Almost everywhere, solar and wind are the cheapest source of new electricity. Doubling down on fossil fuels is absurd. The clean energy revolution is here. No group, no business, and no government can stop it. But you can and must ensure it is fair, and fast enough to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. I urge you to focus on three priorities. First, emergency emissions reductions. To limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, we must cut global emissions nine percent every year. By 2030, they must fall 43 percent on 2019 levels. At this COP, you must agree to rules for fair, effective carbon markets that support that fight; Markets that respect the rights of local communities, and leave no space for greenwashing or land-grabbing. By next COP, you must deliver new economy-wide national climate action plans."
