Global climate commitments are falling pitifully short, says UN secretary-general
The world is not doing nearly enough, nor even promising to do enough - to reach any of the global goals limiting future warming, a United Nations report said. SIA reports, citing foreign media.
This inaction means the window is closing, but not quite shut yet, on efforts to keep future warming to just a few more tenths of a degree from now, according to Thursday's Emissions Gap report from the United Nations Environment Programme.
"Global and national climate commitments are falling pitifully short," United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Thursday. "We are headed for a global catastrophe."
The world is weaning itself from fossil fuels too slowly, the report and experts said.
"The report confirms the utterly glacial pace of climate action, despite the looming precipice of climate tipping points we're approaching," said climate scientist Bill Hare, head of Climate Analytics, which also examines what countries are promising and doing about carbon emissions in its own analysis.
