Guterres warns: Target to limit global warming to below 1.5°C is unattainable

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres delivered a dramatic speech, calling for action to combat climate disinformation and warning that no country can be safe from fires, floods, storms and heatwaves.
The UN Secretary-General even acknowledged that global warming is pushing it towards its limits and that the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels will inevitably be exceeded in the coming years.
"One thing is clear, we will not be able to limit global warming to below 1.5°C in the coming years and exceeding (this limit) is now inevitable," he stressed before the United Nations World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in Geneva, a month before COP30, the UN Climate Conference, to be held in Brazil.
"No place is safe"
"Every year for the past ten years has been the warmest on record. Ocean heat is breaking records while destroying ecosystems."
And no country is safe from fires, floods, storms and heat waves," he said.
In September, the US president declared from the podium of the UN General Assembly that climate change is "the biggest hoax the world has ever seen" and the concept of carbon footprint "a hoax invented by people with malicious intentions."
Without “clear” climate science and data, the world would never have understood the emergence of the “dangerous and existential threat of climate change,” Guterres seemed to respond, adding that “scientists and researchers should never be afraid to tell the truth.” “I stand in solidarity with all scientists.”
The only reliable way is RES
He emphasized that "renewable energy is the cheapest, fastest and most convenient new source of energy."
They represent the only credible path to ending the relentless destruction of our climate."
Deeming that these disruptions are taking "our planet to the brink of disaster," the UN chief also called on governments to "bring forward bold new national climate action plans, with the aim of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees" before COP30.
"Science tells us that much greater ambition is needed," Guterres said, reiterating his call for COP30 countries to "agree on a credible plan to mobilize $1.3 trillion a year in climate finance by 2035 for developing countries."
"Developed countries must fulfill their commitment to double adaptation financing to at least $40 billion this year and rapidly deploy tested tools," he added.
COP30 takes place from November 10 to 21 in Belém, in the Amazon region, with the colossal challenge of uniting the countries of the world not to soften their actions on climate change despite disasters such as the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement, tariff and trade wars or the rise of climate skepticism around the world.
The OBM, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, is working to ensure that all countries are covered by early warning systems for extreme weather events by 2027.
