A World Leaders Summit with heads of state and government from around the world began yesterday with a grim warning from United Nations Secretary Antonio Guterres that the world can either “cooperate or perish”.Yesterday, the Taoiseach said that it is “very important that world leaders come together now annually to keep a focus on climate change and the need to accelerate delivery of all of the various pledges and targets that have been set”.
It focuses on food security and agriculture; water; human settlements; oceans; infrastructure; planning and finance.The world should enable sustainable agriculture than can increase yields by 17% and reduce emissions by 21%; install early warning systems for extreme events; and allocate at least $10 billion a year to expanding access to clean cooking for 2.4 billion people.
“We need all stakeholders on board to deal with current and future impacts of climate change, and this is a prime example of how that can happen.”
