"We can't afford to wait two years, five years, 10 years-this is the moment," Britain's COP26 President Alok Sharma said.
An upcoming UN report on climate change gives the international community its clearest ever warning about the dangers of accelerating climate change, Britain's COP26 President Alok Sharma said on Sunday. The chief for the November summit due to be held in the Scottish city of Glasgow told the Observer newspaper a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) due on Monday would show the world was on the brink of potential disaster. "This is going to be the starkest warning yet that human behaviour is alarmingly accelerating global warming and this is why COP26 has to be the moment we get this right," Sharma said. "We can't afford to wait two years, five years, 10 years-this is the moment," he added, explaining that unless nations "act now, we will unfortunately be out of time".More Related News
