Antonio Guterres - humanity is on thin ice
In March 2023 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change presented its Sixth Assessment Synthesis report at Interlaken in Switzerland and subsequently at the United Nations in New York.
The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres gave a video presentation on both occasions, introducing his Interlaken address with the words
'Dear friends, humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast'.
He also said
'. . our world needs climate action on all fronts — everything, everywhere, all at once.
. . . .
'Every country must be part of the solution. Demanding others move first only ensures humanity comes last.
'By the end of COP28, I count on all G20 leaders to have committed to ambitious new economy-wide nationally determined contributions encompassing all greenhouse gases and indicating their absolute emissions cuts targets for 2035 and 2040.
'The transition must cover the entire economy. Partial pledges won’t cut it.'
