U.N. Secretary-General Guterres urges countries not to give up in the fight against climate change, as representatives from nearly 200 countries gather in Madrid for a two-week meeting on tackling global warming
Countries agreed in Paris four years ago to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius , ideally 1.5C by the end of the century compared with pre-industrial times. Already, average temperatures have increased by about 1C, leaving little room for the more ambitious target to be met.
Except for the European Union’s newly sworn-in leadership, which was due to begin a five-year term by paying a visit to the summit, the rest of the world’s largest carbon emitters — the United States, China and India — are sending ministerial or lower-level officials to the meeting.
