Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>UN chief Antonio Guterres said Thursday that the current climate situation was “a one-way ticket for disaster” and stresed the need to “avoid a failure” at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, struck at the COP21 summit, called for capping global warming at well below 2C above the pre-industrial level, and ideally closer to 1.5C.<\/p>\n

But current UN estimates indicate a “catastrophic” warming of 2.7C is on the cards.<\/p>\n

Guterres said the present indications “show a pathway of at least 2,7C heating above pre industrial levels, and that\u2019s obviously a one way ticket for disaster.”<\/p>\n

“The carbon pollution of a handful of countries has brought humanity to its knees and they bear the greatest responsability,” he told an online press conference with members of the Covering Climate Now international project.<\/p>\n

“I hope we are still on time to avoid a failure in Glasgow, but time is running short, and things are getting more difficult and that is why I\u2019m very very worried. I\u2019m afraid things might get wrong,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The G20 leaders will meet in Rome and they know their economies are responsible for four-fifth of planet carbon pollution,” Guterres said.<\/p>\n

“If they do not stand up … we are headed for terrible human sufferings,” he added.<\/p>\n

He said: “China and the United States must do more than what they have announced so far.”<\/p>\n

Held between October 31 and November 12, the Glasgow gathering is seen as a crucial step in setting worldwide emission targets to slow global warming.<\/p>\n
