UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — A high-level special event on climate action was held at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Wednesday.
In his opening remarks, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said the Paris Agreement had reduced the projected global temperature increase over the past 10 years from four degrees Celsius to less than three degrees Celsius, assuming full implementation of current Nationally Determined Contributions.
“We now need new plans for 2035 that go much further and much faster,” delivering deep emissions cuts to reduce projected warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, covering all emissions and sectors, and accelerating a just energy transition worldwide, Guterres said.
The UN chief said China had reached its 2030 wind and solar power target six years early, while India had transitioned to producing half its energy from non-fossil sources five years earlier.
"COP30 in Brazil must conclude with a credible global response plan to put us on the right path," he said. Guterres outlined five key areas for further development: accelerating the transition to clean energy, drastically reducing methane emissions, protecting forests, reducing emissions from heavy industry, and climate justice.
He called for urgently unlocking funds for developing countries so they can benefit from clean energy and protect the lives of their citizens and economies.
