There can be no more delays, and no more excuses \u2013 this is the time for implementation.<br \/>\n\u201cThe health of us all and of our planet rests on a 1.5\u00b0C degree cap on global warming,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot lose sight of that objective, and I implore leaders at COP28 to renew their determination to deliver a bright, resilient, sustainable common world \u2013 now and for generations to come.<br \/>\nDuring the summit, the Secretary-General will call for increased support for small and vulnerable states, highlighting that despite ambitious pledges, these countries are receiving limited funds to mitigate, adapt to and build resilience against the impacts of climate breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>She will also draw attention to the broader consequences of the climate crisis on economic growth, leading to high debt burdens, food insecurity, stressed resources, and impaired livelihoods for many of the 2.5 billion people living across the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n<p>Commonwealth response Secretary-General Scotland will inform delegates at COP28 about the Commonwealth\u2019s programme, designed to assist its member countries \u2013 including 33 small states \u2013 in dealing with the challenges posed by the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<p>These include: \u2022 The Commonwealth Climate Finance Access Hub, which has mobilised US $310 million in climate finance for 17 vulnerable Commonwealth countries, with an additional US $500 million in the pipeline;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Commonwealth Blue Charter, which is an agreement by all 56 member countries to actively co-operate to address shared ocean challenges;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Commonwealth Living Lands Charter: A Call to Action, which commits Commonwealth countries to safeguard global land resources while taking coordinated action on climate change, biodiversity loss and sustainable land management;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Commonwealth Disaster Risk Finance Portal, which gives countries open, 24-hour hour access to key information on financing to better manage the impact of disasters; and<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Commonwealth Sustainable Energy Transition Agenda, which seeks to fast-track an inclusive, just, and equitable transition to low-carbon energy systems across the group.<\/p>\n<p>In light of 2023 being designated as the Commonwealth Year of Youth, the Commonwealth delegation will also host a series of events focused on promoting youth-led action on challenges posed by climate change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
