Global Climate Pledges Unlikely To Be Fulfilled, UN Report Finds

Global Climate Pledges , Unlikely To Be Fulfilled, , UN Report Finds.

The UN published its latest report on Oct.

26.

It finds that 26 countries out of 193 have adhered to plans laid out to curtail the climate emergency.

According to the report, the result of inaction will be a future of climate chaos.

This year we’ve seen little of the climate action governments promised at the end of Glasgow, , Niklas Höhne, NewClimate Institute, via 'The New York Times'.

... amid a deluge of new science telling us that we have to move faster, and that limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is still entirely possible, Niklas Höhne, NewClimate Institute, via 'The New York Times'.

We need governments to set strong targets that drive emissions down, and decarbonize their economies, Niklas Höhne, NewClimate Institute, via 'The New York Times'.

According to the World Resources Institute, several countries have updated their climate commitments, .

... but because the updates come at such a perilous moment "they are making up for lost time.".

Of the major economies, we have seen a few countries update this year.

India formalized its commitments;, Taryn Fransen, World Resources Institute, via 'The New York Times'.

Australia updated theirs when they got a new government in place; Indonesia followed through, Taryn Fransen, World Resources Institute, via 'The New York Times'.

But each of those countries had failed to update their [nationally determined contribution]s until now, so they are making up for lost time, Taryn Fransen, World Resources Institute, via 'The New York Times'.

Analysts say that the UN report is further evidence that the wealthiest nations continue to fall short of their own climate commitments.

The latest UN report once again shows that those most responsible for the climate crisis remain unwilling to face up to their responsibilities, Mo Ibrahim, Sudanese-British Philanthropist, via 'The New York Times'.

Unless urgent action is taken to hold richer countries to account, the developing world will continue to foot the bill, at the cost of numerous lives, Mo Ibrahim, Sudanese-British Philanthropist, via 'The New York Times'
