UN News Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres briefs reporters on the climate crisis following his recent travel to Chile and Antarctica.<\/p>\n<p>World leaders at this week\u2019s climate conference, COP28, must break the deadly cycle of global warming before a \u201cdeadly tipping point\u201d is reached, said the UN chief on Monday. UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres was briefing reporters in New York after seeing for himself over the weekend the \u201cprofoundly shocking\u201d speed at which ice is melting in Antarctica \u2013 three times faster than the rate in the early 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>New figures reveal that sea ice at the South Pole is now 1.5 million square kilometres below average for this time of year; that\u2019s equal to the combined surface area of Portugal, Spain, France and Germany combined. \u201cWhat happens in Antarctica doesn\u2019t stay in Antarctica\u201d, Mr. Guterres said. \u201cWe live in an interconnected world. Melting sea ice means rising seas. And that directly endangers lives and livelihoods in coastal communities across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that it\u2019s not just the impact of floods and saltwater on food and water supplies at stake, but the viability of small islands and entire cities on coasts across the world. \u201cThe movement of waters around Antarctica distributes heat, nutrients and carbon around the world, helping to regulate our climate and regional weather patterns\u201d, he told correspondents outside the Security Council. \u201cBut that system is slowing as the southern Ocean grows warmer and less dense. Further slowdown \u2013 or entire breakdown \u2013 would spell catastrophe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With no let-up in fossil fuel extraction \u201cwe\u2019re heading towards a calamitous three-degree Celsius temperature rise by the end of the century\u201d, he warned. :If we continue as we are, and I strongly hope we will not, the Greenland and West Antarctica ice sheets will cross a deadly tipping point.\u201d This represents an astonishing rise of around 10 metres. The vicious cycle means accelerated heating as ice diminishes and more extreme weather. At COP28 in Dubai, which starts later this week, \u201cleaders must break this cycle\u201d, the UN chief declared. \u201cThe solutions are well known. Leaders must act to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, protect people from climate chaos, and end the fossil fuel age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only a global pact to triple renewable energy use, a doubling in energy efficiency and access to clean power for all by 2030, will be sufficient, he argued. \u201cAntarctica is crying out for action\u201d, the Secretary-General added. \u201cI salute the thousands of researchers \u2013 in Antarctica and around the world \u2013 expanding our understanding of the changes taking place on the continent. They are testament to human ingenuity and the immense benefits of international collaboration. Leaders must not let the hopes of people around the world for a sustainable planet melt away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2023\/11\/1144007\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/hopes-for-a-sustainable-planet-must-not-melt-away-guterres\/\">Hopes for a sustainable planet must not \u2018melt away\u2019: Guterres<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,2043,690,402],"class_list":["post-118987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-planet","tag-sustainable","tag-un"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118987\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
