"A world in climate chaos cannot be a world at peace.
Climate change is a threat multiplier – inflaming tensions over land, water and food, forcing people from their homes, and tearing at the ecosystems we all depend on.
It is also a profound injustice that those least responsible are paying first and worst."
In his annual priorities speech to the General Assembly in New York @unitednations Secretary-General @antonioguterres reminded us of the urgency of the climate crisis.
And what needs to happen now:
"Delivering beyond national climate plans to cut emissions now – and to keep cutting.
Accelerating a just, orderly and equitable transition away from fossil fuels to renewables.
Doubling energy efficiency by 2030; building grids and storage to connect clean power to all; cutting methane; and halting deforestation.
Making good on promises for adaptation and for loss and damage.
And ensuring affordable, predictable finance that reaches those who need it, when they need it.
Climate justice is an investment in peace and security, because vulnerability anywhere becomes a risk everywhere – rippling through financial systems, supply chains and global stability."
