Global climate action is taking center stage as United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres lauds the new pledge by China and the European Union to boost cooperation on climate change. With COP30 on the horizon in Brazil, he believes that alignment between these two major economies is crucial to turn the tide in our fight against the climate crisis.
In his recent statement, Guterres reiterated his call for every G20 member to present robust 2035 Nationally Determined Contributions that are economy-wide, cover all emissions, align with the 1.5-degree goal, and chart a credible path away from fossil fuels. This decisive move aims to drive a global shift toward a just and sustainable transition for all.
As young people and global citizens, we see this commitment as a bright spark of hope for our planet’s future. Let's keep the momentum alive and work together for a greener world! 🌍🔥
