STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - The world is not on target to curb global warming and more action is needed on all fronts, the United Nations warned on Friday, in the run-up to crucial international talks aimed at stemming the growing climate crisis.
"The Paris Agreement has driven near-universal climate action by setting goals and sending signals to the world regarding the urgency of responding to the climate crisis," it said."While action is proceeding, much more is needed now on all fronts." The U.N. said existing national pledges to cut emissions were insufficient to keep temperatures within the 1.5 C threshold. More than 20 gigatonnes of further CO2 reductions were needed this decade - and global net zero by 2050 - in order to meet the goals, the U.N. assessment said.The report urged countries to cut the use of"unabated" coal power by 67-92% by 2030, compared to 2019, and to virtually eliminate it as a source of electricity by 2050.
