The United Nations unveiled the Climate Promise 2025 initiative on Tuesday, a concerted global effort to prevent temperatures from rising beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius as stipulated in the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n
Led by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the UN Development Programme, the campaign mobilizes a diverse group of participants including social media influencers, indigenous leaders, and major corporations.<\/p>\n
This wide-reaching initiative underscores a key message that, according to Guterres, “it is not all doom and gloom.”<\/p>\n
“Many countries have the will to take more ambitious steps on climate action, but the world needs to mobilize to ensure there is a way,” Guterres said during the launch event dubbed Below 1.5 by 2025: The Plan.<\/p>\n
Underlining the urgency, Guterres cited recent extreme weather events and scientific reports, warning that “what we are seeing is just a preview of the disaster that awaits unless we limit the long-term rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius.”<\/p>\n
The “1.5 degrees Celsius limit is still possible, but not for long,” said the UN chief, urging all nations, especially the Group of 20 (G20), to intensify their efforts.<\/p>\n
“We need concrete steps this year to get finance flowing and enable a surge in climate ambition,” he insisted. “The United Nations is rallying to support you. Please, seize the opportunity. Together, let’s make the next round of climate action plans count.” (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
