United Nations scholars directed a flagrant warning about the effect of climate change on people and the planet, and they said that the collapse of the ecosystem, the extinction of species, the heat waves and the deadly floods, is among the "multiple climate risks that cannot be avoided" that the world will face during the next two decades due to global warming.
"This report is an urgent warning about the consequences of not taking any action."
He said that it shows that climate change represents a serious and increasing threat to our well -being and a healthy planet.
He added, "Our practices will be how people are adapting and nature's response to the increasing climate risks," adding that the half -procedures are no longer an option.
According to the report, climate change by human act causes a dangerous and wide disturbance in nature, and affects billions of lives around the world, and despite the efforts made to reduce risk, people and ecosystems are the most affected..
This is the second report in a series of three reports prepared by senior climate scientists at the United Nations, and its launch comes slightly more than 100 days after the United Nations Climate Work Summit at Glasgow COP26, where it was agreed to intensify the work to reduce the phenomenon of global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and ward off the worst climate change.
The Secretary -General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, described the first report issued last August, as a "red symbol of humanity" and said: "If we unify the powers now, we can avoid a climate catastrophe."
As for his opinion on the last report, it is just screaming: Mr. Guterres regrets because the evidence provided by the International Governmental Authority concerned with climate change is not similar to anything he saw at all, describing it as "the atlas of human suffering severely and categorically accusing the leadership failure to address the climate crisis."
Thanks to the facts that the report shows from the facts after the other, it focuses on influences, adaptation and the ability to be affected, reveals how people and the planet are "beaten" due to climate change.
He added: "Almost half of humanity has become living in the dangerous area.The deterioration in many ecosystems reached an irreversible limit.Oncelter carbon pollution pushes the most severe weakness in the world, slowly weak towards destruction."
Mr. Guterres said that the world's largest pollutants are responsible for setting fire to our only home.
In the face of such a terrifying guide, it is important to achieve the goals of reducing global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and science shows that this requires the world to reduce emissions by 45 percent by 2030, and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
However, Mr. Guterres added: "But according to the current obligations, global emissions will increase by approximately 14 percent over the current decade.This warns of a catastrophe, and will eliminate any opportunity to maintain (goal) to stay within the limits of 1.5 ° C."
This warns of a catastrophe, and it will destroy any opportunity to keep the (goal) of the 1.5 ° C حيّا
The Secretary -General explained that one of the most prominent facts that the report shows is that coal and other fossil fuels strangle humanity, and called on all the governments of the Group of Twenty to adhere to their agreements to stop the financing of coal abroad, and also urgently to do the similar thing within its countries and dismantle the fleet of charcoal..
Moreover, he said that workers in the private sector who are still financed coal production should be held accountable, indicating that this warning also includes giant oil and gas companies and their guarantors..
According to the Secretary -General, "you cannot claim observance of environmental considerations, and at the same time you undermine your plans and projects, the purpose of reaching emissions to zero degree by 2050 and ignore what must happen in this contract from major discounts in the percentage of emissions.People do not deceive them this trick."
He added that instead of slowing carbon removal from the global economy, it is time to accelerate the transition to energy use and rely on renewable energy in the future, adding that fossil fuels of all kinds are not good than it is good, neither for our planet nor for humanity, nor for economies..
He called on developed countries, multi -sectors development banks, private financiers, and others, to form alliances to help emerging economies to end the use of coal..
Another important thing that the report found is a little better news and is related to investing in the adaptation work.
Mr. Guterres said: “With climate repercussions increasing - and it will get worse - the expansion of investments will be important to survive..Adaptation efforts with these effects must be pursued and relieved them with the same strength and the same urgency.Perhaps this is the reason that made me click to monitor 50 percent of the total climate financing for adaptation efforts."
He pointed to Glasgow's obligations about the adaptation, saying that the financing was not sufficient to face the challenges facing peoples on the front fronts of the climate crisis, and said that he also pushes towards the removal of obstacles that prevent small island states and less developed countries from obtaining the financing that affects the need to save lives and waysLiving.
He added: We need to develop new systems to fulfill the conditions for obtaining financing to deal with this new reality.However, procrastination means death."
He said that he is inspired by everyone on the front fronts on the battlefield with the climate and fighting by finding solutions, and added that he knows that people everywhere feel anxious and angry at the same time.
He said: "I feel it too.Now is the time to translate anger into work.Every molecule of temperature has its value.And every voice can make a difference.And every important second."
The report indicates that the waves of heat, droughts and floods are overrun, sofas of plants and animals, which leads to huge numbers of deaths in species such as trees and coral reefs.This extremism in the climate occurs simultaneously, and causes repercussions - it is increasingly managing.
Millions of people have exposed sharp hunger and water insecurity, especially in Africa, Asia, Central and South Asia, small islands and the northern pole..
To avoid increasing losses in lives, biological diversity and infrastructure, ambitious and expedited measures are required to adapt to climate change, at the same time that rapid and deep discounts are made in greenhouse gas emissions..
The new report concluded that the progress made in adaptation is irregular yet, and there are increasing gaps between the actions taken and what is required to deal with the increasing risks.These gaps are the largest among the low -income population.
For its part, Ilham Ali, one of the authors of the report in relation to the Mediterranean region: “The Mediterranean Basin is considered one of the most affected areas of many risk of climate changes, and the most vulnerable to these risks are the low areas, especially those that suffer from land landingsAs it is more threatened with floods - sea level rise as well as salt water leakage, which all affect, individually or combined, on agriculture activities."
"This report acknowledges the mutual dependence between the climate and the biological diversity and the people, and it merges natural, social and economic sciences in a stronger way than the previous assessments of the international government agency concerned with climate change."
According to the report, there are options to adapt to the changing climate.This report provides new visions on nature's capabilities not only to reduce climate risk, but also to improve people's lives.
"The healthy ecosystems are more flexible in the face of climate change and the provision of vital life services such as food and clean water.."
He pointed out that by restoring the deteriorating ecosystems, and effectively preserving 30 to 50 percent of the lands of the land, fresh water and oceans, society can benefit from the ability of nature to absorb and store carbon, and we can accelerate progress towards sustainable development, but adequate financing and political supportNecessary.
Scientists note that climate change interacts with global trends such as the unimportant use of natural resources, increased urban expansion, social disparities, losses and damages resulting from extremist and pandemic events, which endangers in the future to threat..
For its part, the head of the second working team, Dibra Roberts, said: "Our evaluation clearly shows that addressing all these different challenges includes everyone - governments, private sector and civil society - working together to give priority to reduce risks, as well as fairness and justice in decision -making and investment."
The report provides a detailed evaluation of the effects of climate change, risks and adaptation in cities and urban areas, where more than half of the world's population lives.
Roberts said: "The increasing urban expansion and the climate change together create complex risks, especially for cities that already suffer from urban growth, poor planning, high levels of poverty and unemployment, and a lack of basic services."
However, it added that cities also provide opportunities for climate work - green buildings, reliable supplies of clean water and renewable energy, and sustainable transportation systems that link urban and rural areas that can all lead to a more comprehensive and fair society.
In general, the report, which provides large -scale regional information to enable development that is able to adapt to climate change, confirms the urgent necessity of climate work, focusing on fairness and justice.
Sufficient financing, technology transfer, political commitment and partnership leads to more effective adaptation with climate change and reducing emissions.
Hans Auto Portner said: "The scientific evidence is not wearing: the climate changes a threat to the welfare of man and the health of the planet.Any additional delay in global coordinated work is a short and fast window to ensure a suitable future for living."
In a related context, the climate risk index appears in children recently issued by UNICEF - the first comprehensive climate and environmental risks from the child's perspective - that a billion children of children who live in very dangerous countries are exposed to the most severe risks, shocks and pressure.
In a statement, Catherine Rasil, Executive Director of UNICEF, said: "The climate crisis has already been exposed almost every child, in every continent, to repeated, more severe and destructive climate risks, from heat and drought waves to hurricanes and floods, from air pollution to carrier diseases."
She added that for some children, the climate crisis is more than just an increased risk, it is a life -threatening fact.The influence on these children, their families and their future - and thus on their societies - is enormous.
"Today there are a billion of the most vulnerable children in the world, at risk.Tomorrow, if the world fails to move, all children will become (at risk)."
The UNICEF statement coincides with a historical report issued by the IPCC, which, according to UNICEF, does not leave any doubt that the climate crisis is not a future threat, but rather it is here and accelerates, and continues to influence the world in increasingly devastating ways.
UNICEF Executive Director said that the evidence is unacceptable - the climate crisis is a children's crisis.However, children are constantly ignored in planning to respond to the climate crisis.Investing in the needs of children most affected by climate change was not a priority.In many cases, it was not even on the agenda."
It called for the situation of children at the click of the climate work.It also called for each country to adhere to the guarantee that the adaptation that focuses on the child be the cornerstone of all climate plans as a matter of a top priority.
"First and always, governments must implement ambitious discounts for emissions.This remains the only long -term solution, as adaptation to the climate has limits.But we need to take action - at the present time - to help the most vulnerable children, who live in countries with less emissions for one individual, and adapt to the effects of climate change, so that they can survive and prosper in a rapidly changing world."
Rasil pointed out that the preparation of countries and societies through the resisting climate development with a great focus on adaptation is the most effective way to protect the lives of children at risk and ways to live their families.She stressed the importance of building flexibility in the face of the expected climatic shocks in the future, because of the real economic benefits.
“However, many countries either completely lack adaptation plans, or have plans that do not protect or meet their specific and urgent needs.."
Many countries either they completely lack adaptation plans, or have plans that do not protect or meet their specific and urgent needs
She explained that this means that most children are still not protected and not ready for the intense effect of climate change.
She pointed out that in order for the adaptation plans that focus on the child and the measures of flexibility are effective, they must be multi -sectors, and cover the vital sectors that support the survival of children and their well -being;Water and sanitation;Health, Nutrition and Education;Social policy and child protection.
They also need to focus resources and attention to reach the most marginalized and weak children of the poorest societies.
Equally important, these plans must be developed and implemented with youth and the involvement of youth - and ensuring hearing their voices and highlighting their needs in decisions..
"Let's not make them wait for us more to take smart and strategic measures that will help them survive.."
On the other hand, a recently released report is expected that climate change, and the change of land use, increases the frequency and intensity of forest fires, with a global increase in severe fires by up to 14 percent by 2030, and 30 percent at the end of 2050 and 50 % by solutionsIn the year 2100.
This is what was stated in a new report of the United Nations Environment Program, and GID-Arundal, which is a non-profit environmental communication center.
The deployment report, such as wildfire, found the increasing threat of unusual landscape.
He called for a fundamental change in government spending on forest fires, and to transform their investments from the reaction and respond to prevention and preparation.
The report calls on governments to adopt a "ready formula to deal with fires" with the allocation of two -thirds of spending for planning, prevention, preparedness and recovery, and a third remains to respond.
At the present time, direct responses to forest fires are usually received more than half of the relevant expenses, while it receives planning and prevention less than one per cent..
Ingrerson, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program, Ingrerson, indicated that she often puts the current government's reactions to forest fires money in the wrong place.
"Emergency services and firefighters workers need the front lines who risk their lives to combat forest fires to support.We have to reduce the risk of severe forest fires by preparing better: investing more in reducing the risk of fires, working with local communities, and enhancing global commitment to combat climate change.."
Forest fires are incapable.With an effect that extends for days, weeks, and even years after the fire subsides, and the progress of progress towards sustainable development and the deepening of social inequality.
The health of people is directly affected by inhaling forest fire smoke, which causes effects on the respiratory system, heart and blood vessels and doubles the health effects of the most vulnerable groups.
The economic costs of reconstruction can be after forest fires in the regions far from the reach of low -income countries.
The condition of water ponds deteriorates due to forest fire pollutants, and can also lead to soil erosion, causing more problems for waterways.
The remaining waste is often very contaminated and requires the appropriate disposal of it.
Rarely wildlife and natural habitats survive from forest fires, causing the extinction of some types of animals and plants.A recent example of this is the Australian forest fires in 2020, which are estimated that they have eliminated billions of pets and wildlife.
Forest fires and climate change are exacerbated mutual.Forest fires get worse due to climate change by increasing dehydration, heating of air, low relative humidity, lightning and strong winds, which leads to longer hotbst seasons hotter and dry..
At the same time, climate change gets worse due to forest fires, often by destroying sensitive and carbon environmental systems such as peat lands and rainy lands.This turns the landscape into a mug box, which makes it difficult to stop high temperatures.
To prevent fires, the authors of the report calls for a mixture of data and monitoring systems based on science with the original knowledge, and stronger regional and international cooperation.
The report indicates the need for a better understanding of the behavior of forest fires.The achievement and sustainability of land and adaptive fires management requires a set of policies, a legal framework and incentives that encourage the appropriate use of land and fire.
The restoration of environmental systems is an important way to alleviate the risk of forest fires before they occur and better rebuilding in the wake of them.And the restoration of wetlands and the re -introduction of species such as Qenades, the restoration of peat lands, the construction away from the vegetation and the preservation of open buffer areas are some examples of basic investments in prevention, preparedness and recovery.
The report concludes with an invitation to international standards stronger for the safety and health of firefighters and reduce the risks they face before, during and after operations..This includes increasing awareness of the dangers of inhalation of smoke, and providing firefighters with the possibility of obtaining a sufficient amount of water, nutrition, comfort and recovery between work periods.
