The goal was to accelerate global climate ambition ahead of COP30, which will be hosted in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting was part of a joint mobilization strategy by the two leaders to strengthen global action under the Paris Agreement and build momentum for stronger national climate plans to be announced in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The two-hour session held behind closed doors included China, the European Union, the African Union, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and small island developing States.<\/p>\n<p>Guterres described it as one of the most diverse meetings of national leaders focused exclusively on climate for some time, carrying a powerful unifying message.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we heard today, the world is moving forward. Full-speed ahead. No group or government can stop the clean energy revolution\u201d, he declared at a press briefing afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>He said many leaders pledged to deliver ambitious new climate plans, formally known as National Determined Contributions (NDCs), as soon as possible in what he called a \u201cstrong message of hope\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Guterres announced that President Xi Jinping confirmed during the meeting that China\u2019s updated NDCs would cover all economic sectors and all greenhouse gases \u2014 a clarification he described as \u201cextremely important\u201d for climate action.<\/p>\n<p>He added that these pledges provide a vital opportunity to chart a bold path for the next decade and most importantly, help speed up a just transition away from fossil fuels to renewables.<\/p>\n<p>Renewable energy production is \u201cthe economic opportunity of the century,\u201d he said, describing it as the \u201cpathway out of climate hell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe clean energy sector is booming \u2013 creating jobs and boosting competitiveness and growth worldwide\u2026Science is on our side and economics have shifted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The UN chief noted that prices for renewables have fallen dramatically, offering \u201cthe surest route to energy sovereignty and security, ending dependence on volatile and expensive fossil fuel imports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the 2015 Paris Agreement, global projections for warming have declined, from over 4\u00b0C this century to 2.6\u00b0C if current plans are implemented.<\/p>\n<p>But that still falls short of limiting temperature rise to 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels \u2013 the goal agreed in Paris by nations and endorsed by climate scientists.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary-General urged leaders to submit national plans that align with that target, cover all greenhouse gases and sectors, and signal a full commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Guterres underscored the need to direct far more support to developing countries, which face the most severe impacts of climate change despite contributing the least to global emissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfrica and other parts of the developing world are experiencing faster warming \u2013 and the Pacific islands are seeing faster sea-level rise \u2013 even while the global average itself is accelerating,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He called on countries to deliver a credible roadmap to mobilize 1.3 trillion USD per year for developing nations by 2035, double adaptation finance to 40 billion USD this year, and increase contributions to the new Loss and Damage Fund created at COP28.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary-General also announced a high-level UN event in September \u2013 just weeks ahead of COP30 \u2013 to assess progress on climate plans and finance.<\/p>\n<p>The message was clear, according to Guterres. \u201cWe cannot, must not, and will not let up on climate action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Mozambique<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
