Antonio Guterres “We are in the fight of our lives and we are losing ... And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. “We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.” He said the world faced a stark choice over the next fortnight of talks: either developed and developing countries working together to make a “historic pact” that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and set the world on a low-carbon path – or failure, which would bring climate breakdown and catastrophe. “We can sign a climate solidarity pact, or a collective suicide pact,” he added. He said the world had the tools it needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in clean energy and low-carbon technology. “A window of opportunity remains open, but only a narrow shaft of light remains,” he said. “The global climate fight will be won or lost in this crucial decade – on our watch. One thing is certain: those that give up are sure to lose.” #cop27 #climateaction #actnow #climateemergency
