Guess who's teaming up to save our planet? 🌍 The United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan, and Brazil have formed a climate \"troika\" to keep global warming under control! 💪
The trio announced on Tuesday that they're joining forces to push for an international agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius—a crucial goal if we want to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. 🔥🌡️
The UAE hosted last year's COP28 conference in Dubai, Azerbaijan is set to host this year's summit, and Brazil will host in 2025. Together, these past and future UN climate talk hosts are taking the lead! 🚀
Backed by 198 signatories to the Dubai agreement, the three countries are working on a roadmap to hit that 1.5°C target. Global greenhouse gas emissions have been skyrocketing, making this collaboration more important than ever. 🌫️🌐
\"The Troika helps ensure we have the collaboration and continuity required to keep the North Star of 1.5 degrees Celsius in sight—from Baku to Belem and beyond,\" said COP28 president Sultan Al Jaber. ✨
Reality check: current climate pledges have us on track to warm between 2.5 and 2.9 degrees Celsius over this century, according to the UN. 😱 We need to step up our game!
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that we could hit the 1.5°C limit between 2030 and 2035 if we don't act fast. ⏳
The \"troika\" aims to boost international cooperation and ambition in the next round of climate pledges, with a view to scaling up action during this critical decade. Let's keep that 1.5°C goal within reach! 💚🌿
From the deserts of Dubai to the streets of Baku and the rainforests of Brazil, this collaboration could be the game-changer we need. 🌵🏙️🌳 Let's cheer them on!
