UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Saturday, Apr. 22, called on the international community to accelerate climate action with deeper, faster emissions cuts. | ManilaBulletin READ:
"We need accelerated climate action with deeper, faster emissions cuts to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius," the top UN official said in his message for International Mother Earth Day, which is observed annually on April 22.
Warning that "our actions are laying waste to forests, jungles, farmland, wetlands, oceans, coral reefs, rivers, seas, and lakes," the UN chief urged countries to reflect on humanity's most important relationship, which is "our relationship with the natural world." The secretary-general underscored that the international community has the tools, the knowledge, and the solutions, "but we must pick up the pace."
"Let's get to work to implement the historic UN biodiversity agreement to ensure that 30 percent of Earth's land and water is protected by 2030," he said.
