'Today's IPCC report is a how-to guide to defuse the climate time bomb. It is a survival guide for humanity,' U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said on Monday.
"This Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action and shows that, if we act now, we can still secure a liveable sustainable future for all."
"As it shows, the 1.5-degree limit is achievable. But it will take a quantum leap in climate action." Guterres described the report as a"clarion call to massively fast-track climate efforts by every country and every sector and on every timeframe." This initiative must see governments"hitting the fast-forward button" on their net zero deadlines, Guterres said, with rich countries urged to commit to reaching net zero as close as possible to 2040 and emerging economies called on to reach net zero by 2050.The IPCC said Monday that there is more than enough global capital to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions if existing barriers are removed.
"We have the tools to stave off and reduce the risks of the worst impacts of the climate crisis, but we must take advantage of this moment to act now," Kerry said. "Almost half of the world's population lives in regions that are highly vulnerable to climate change. In the last decade, deaths from floods, droughts and storms were 15 times higher in highly vulnerable regions," she added.A vehicle drives past a dry, cracked lake bed on its way to Boulder Harbour in drought-stricken Lake Mead on September 15, 2022 in Boulder City, Nevada.in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in November.
