Remarks by António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations at the Opening of the Global Climate Action High Level Event | COP28, UN Climate Change Conference, Dubai (United Arab Emirates). Excellencies, dear friends, The eyes of the world are on Dubai, and this Global Climate Action Summit is a reminder of what’s at stake at COP28. People are looking to their leaders for solutions to the climate crisis gripping countries, communities and economies worldwide. Global emissions are at record highs. Global temperatures are at record highs. Heatwaves, storms, floods, droughts and other climate-related disasters are growing in intensity. Meanwhile, fossil fuel companies are raking in record profits, while people and planet pay the price. But most importantly, this Summit is a reminder of what the world must do to make the COP28 a true turning point in our fight against climate change. The science shows the way. The 1.5-degree temperature limit is the only way forward. This Global Stocktake must put us on the path to get there and provide a surge in climate action. We need to leave Dubai with a clear commitment to triple renewables capacity, double energy efficiency and deliver clean power to all people by 2030. And we need a strong commitment to phase-out fossil fuels on a clear time frame that aligns with the 1.5 degree limit. No more delays. No more foot-dragging. No more greenwashing. Renewables create jobs, generate economic growth, and bring affordable energy to people around the world — all while driving down emissions and ensuring a just and equitable transition. We need the Global Stocktake to set a clear expectation that the next climate action plans, or NDCs, will be more ambitious and high-quality. Countries need to heed the call of my Acceleration Agenda to speed up net-zero deadlines so that developed countries get there by 2040, and emerging economies by 2050 or as close as possible to those two dates. And we need a surge in climate justice. Developing countries are double victims. First, of climate-fueled disasters they did little to cause. And second, of extortionate borrowing costs that block climate action on mitigation and adaptation. The Global Stocktake must show how countries will close the gaps on finance and adaptation. Developed countries must show how they will double adaptation finance and clarify the delivery of the long-promised $100 billion per year. This COP outcome must clearly support reform of the multilateral development banks to increase developing countries’ access to private finance at reasonable costs. And we need to see a boost of the Loss and Damage Fund. Across all these areas, you are here to discuss solutions. The diversity of people in attendance reminds us that we are all having a role to play. Governments need to set their sights high and commit to climate ambition on a massive scale, supporting developing countries every step of the way. Governments must also provide the private sector with policy and regulatory certainty and predictability, including placing a price on carbon. Businesses, investors, cities and regions need to help lead the shift away from fossil fuels to renewables. I call on them to present net-zero commitments and accompanying transition plans fully aligned with the recommendations of my High-Level Expert Group on Net Zero that was created one year ago. This includes genuine decarbonization with detailed targets for 2025, 2030 and 2035. And avoiding dubious offsets or carbon credits, in any scope of emissions. We need scientists and innovators to keep researching and developing solutions to address climate change and drive renewables forward. My Scientific Advisory Board will help bring together expert advice on major global issues like climate change and translate breakthroughs into practical solutions. Finally, we need civil society, indigenous groups and young people to keep up the pressure to hold leaders to account, and help develop the concrete solutions we need to safeguard people and planet alike. Let’s pledge to act with ambition equal to the scale of the crisis. Let’s deliver the renewable, sustainable and equitable future people and planet deserve. And I thank you. --- Full remarks: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/statement/2023-12-02/secretary-generals-remarks-global-climate-action-high-level-event-towards-turning-point-for-climate-action-delivered COP28 website: https://unfccc.int/cop28

Play Video: UN Chief: "We need an international financial system that meets the needs of LLDCs" | COP28

Remarks by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, at the Opening of the High-level meeting of the Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC) | COP28, UN Climate Change Conference. You Excellency Mr. President Excellencies, friends, It is a privilege to participate in this high-level meeting of landlocked developing countries. Let me begin by thanking the President of Botswana for your strong leadership. I’ve been for many years a great admirer of your country. Landlocked, but a middle-income country with exemplary congruence with social cohesion and sustainable development. Now the specific challenges and vulnerabilities of Landlocked Developing Countries are well-documented. But they do not receive nearly enough global attention. LLDCs are on the frontlines of the climate chaos – confronting a range of dramatic impacts: desertification and prolonged droughts, catastrophic biodiversity loss and rapidly melting glaciers. However, you are also in pole position to reap the rewards of the renewables revolution. You can be champions of an energy transition that is sustainable, just, inclusive, and equitable. But to do all of this, you need much, much more support. The Global Stocktake to be approved in this COP is critical. It must mark a turning point towards a surge of global climate ambition in 2025 and beyond. And that demands action across three priority areas. First, action on finance. And it’s good to have a minister of finance together with us. We need to see a boosting of contributions to the new Loss and Damage Fund. It started well, but with very little money. It must be a much bigger fund than what it looks like at the present moment. And we need developed countries to make good on their financial commitments – by clarifying how they deliver or are delivering the $100 billion a year and setting out a clear plan to double adaptation finance. But we must go further still. We must reform the deeply unfair global financial architecture so that it better represents developing countries and better responds to their needs. We need an international financial system that meets the needs of LLDCs with an effective debt-relief mechanism that supports payment suspensions, longer lending terms, and lower rates. We need international financial institutions to fully align with the Paris Agreement. And we need to increase the capital base and change the business models of Multilateral Development Banks so that they leverage far more private finance at reasonable costs to developing countries and in particular LLDCs. Second, action on reducing emissions. We must preserve the limit of 1.5-degrees of heating, as set out in the Paris Agreement, to avert the worst of climate chaos. The Global Stocktake must set clear expectations that countries’ 2025 Nationally Determined Contributions will align with the 1.5-degree limit. And it must advance a just, fair and equitable transition from fossil fuels to renewables: By committing countries to triple renewables capacity, double energy efficiency, and bringing clean energy to all, by 2030. And by committing to phase out fossil fuels on a clear timeframe that aligns with the 1.5-degree limit. Countries must also take action in line with my Climate Solidary Pact and Acceleration Agenda: hitting fast forward on their net zero timelines so that they get there as soon as possible to 2040 in developed countries and 2050 in emerging economies. There is this, I would say, very unfair situation. There are no LLDCs that are big emitters, but LLDCs are on the frontline of the negative devastating impacts of climate change. So I think you have a moral authority to tell big emitters, namely the G20 countries that represent 80 per cent of the emissions, it’s time to seriously reduce emissions in order for LLDCs to have a chance not to be so dramatically impacted by the acceleration of the climate chaos consequences. We need to work together with a new level of international cooperation – governments, countries, and companies – to support the global transition to net zero by 2050. This includes: Putting a fair price on carbon. Protecting everyone, everywhere with early warning systems. And aligning all critical emitting sectors with 1.5 degrees. Excellencies, dear friends, In these priorities and more, the United Nations stands with you, with the Landlocked Developing Countries. Together, we can lay the foundation for a more resilient and sustainable future for over 500 million people of landlocked developing countries, leaving no one behind as it is our key message of the Sustainable Development Goals. And we can build on this progress at the Third United Nations Conference on LLDCs next June...

Play Video: Dog Meat Farmers Protest Against Ban in South Korea

These South Korean dog meat farmers are protesting against recent government moves to ban rearing dogs for meat. The Korean Dog Meat Association says it wants dog meat farming to be treated like any other livestock farming and that a ban would infringe on the rights of farmers and consumers. There is a long history of eating dog meat in Korea, but recent surveys show that the majority of South Koreans are against the practice. South Korea’s sizeable Buddhist population also largely opposes all forms of meat farming, which includes dog meat farming. Animal rights charity director Borami Seo believes South Koreans are becoming increasingly conscious of animal welfare. Farming dogs for meat is already heavily restricted in South Korea. Although not explicitly banned, dogs are not specified as livestock in Korean law, unlike most other animals reared for meat. In recent years several local governments have further restricted the practice, and have shut down dog slaughterhouses. But, with impassioned supporters on both sides, it's not yet clear if the government’s attempt to ban the practice will succeed. #korea #dogs #food Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/

After seven days of ceasefire, the war in Gaza started again this morning. Just 30 minutes after the ceasefire ended Israel announced it had hit Hamas targets with airstrikes. Israel also accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire by firing rockets into its territory. The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says 32 were killed in the first three hours after the end of the ceasefire. The renewed violence marks the end of a seven-day ceasefire that saw Israel and Hamas exchange hostages and prisoners. A four-day ceasefire began on 24 November but was extended to seven days, with help from Egypt and Qatar acting as mediators. More than 100 hostages were returned by Hamas in exchange for Israel releasing 240 prisoners. Many had hoped the ceasefire might be extended indefinitely, but Israel has reiterated it will not stop the war until all the hostages are returned, and Hamas is destroyed. #israel #gaza #palestine Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/

Global Video: Future of wildfires: What will happen to Canada's scorched forests as fires worsen?

Play Video: Future of wildfires: What will happen to Canada's scorched forests as fires worsen?

After a record-breaking wildfire season in 2023, land double the size of Portugal has been burnt in Canada throughout the year, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC). At 18.5 million hectares (46 million acres), that’s about five per cent of the country’s entire forests. As the wildfire season slowly winds down with cooling temperatures, what happens to all the land and forests after the fires have been extinguished and nearby evacuated communities returned, especially with such a large swath of area affected? In the past, fires didn’t come around an area more often than every 30 years, with the lack of trees from recent burns helping regulate the frequency of the fires and resetting the local ecosystem. But now, experts warn that climate change may be breaking that natural cycle. “Unfortunately, what we're seeing now when we have these extremely intense fires is that, in some places, things burn so hot that they actually incinerate the seeds that are released,” warns ‘Dark Days at Noon: The Future of Fire’ author Edward Struzik. “The southern end of our boreal forest is going to disappear.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #Canada #Wildfires

Global Video: How rocks from an asteroid could teach us about our planet

Play Video: How rocks from an asteroid could teach us about our planet

On Sunday, rocks plucked from the asteroid 101955 Bennu will land on our planet, ready to be studied by scientists who hope this sample can shine a light on our planet – and how it came to be. The sample comes to us seven years after NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on a mission to study a near-Earth asteroid and three years after it successfully touched down on Bennu to collect a sample of an asteroid for the first time in the space agency’s history. Bennu is described as a celestial “rubbish pile” that is made up of material dating back billions of years to when the solar system was forming. And as Alyssa Julie reports, scientists believe its rocks could hold a record of that time period.

Global Video: Maui wildfires: Wind, drought and invasive grass created perfect storm for devastating fires

Play Video: Maui wildfires: Wind, drought and invasive grass created perfect storm for devastating fires

Punishing winds, a severe drought and invasive grass created the perfect conditions for the devastating fires on Maui that have so far killed at least 67 people, experts say. The exact cause of the fires is yet to be determined but the National Weather Service had issued warnings for high winds and dry weather as Hurricane Dora brushed south of Hawaii. Craig Clements, a meteorology professor at San Jose State University, said Maui had already been in a severe drought, putting it at risk for fires. He said the steep mountains overlooking the hard-hit town of Lahain also exacerbated the high wind conditions, sending them into populated areas at high speed. Alyssa Julie has more on how conditions fanned the flames of the fires.

Play Video: CO2: How an essential greenhouse gas is heating up the planet

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas and is essential for life on Earth to function normally. However, humans are emitting it on an industrial scale, like through the burning of fossil fuels, which is contributing to global warming. Kamyar Razavi explains how the exponential increase of CO2 release is causing the planet to heat up.

Global Video: King Charles coronation: Crown jewels, centuries-old traditions and what it all means

Play Video: King Charles coronation: Crown jewels, centuries-old traditions and what it all means

The coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a King of England has his coronation televised and only the second-ever British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. It’s a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance, cloaked in mystery and steeped in centuries-old traditions…that comes from a healthy dose of historical pettiness and happenstance. During the ceremony, the monarch will be presented with the crown jewels, almost all of which were destroyed, altered, or lost to time over the often-tumultuous centuries of British history. While the crown is the centrepiece of the regalia – what do sceptres, swords and a Scottish stone have to do with being anointed to the British throne? Global News explains.
