UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres <em>(pictured above)<\/em> said the world is headed for catastrophe.<\/p>\n<p>In a video message, he mentioned a report from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) showing that, far from limiting global warming to 1.5\u00baC or 2\u00baC above pre-industrial levels, the way countries are acting now, unable to deliver on their promises, will lead to temperature increases reaching 2.8\u00b0C by 2100.<\/p>\n<p>If concrete commitments made at the last United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP26) held in Glasgow last year would be fulfilled, the projection could only decrease to 2.4 or 2.6\u00b0C by the end of the century, he said. The report recalls the <strong>Earth is currently 1.1\u00b0C warmer<\/strong> than in pre-industrial times.<\/p>\n<p>Less than two weeks before COP27, in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheik, Guterres warned carbon neutrality goals \u201care worth nothing\u201d without actions to honor them. He called on governments, particularly those of the G20, the group of the world\u2019s 20 biggest economies, private groups, and financial institutions, to bridge \u201cthe gap\u201d between these commitments and what would be necessary to respect the goals of the Paris agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Guterres warned the \u201cworld cannot afford to <strong>greenwash<\/strong>,\u201d an expression meaning the illegitimate appropriation of environmentalist virtues by people or institutions through marketing and public relations strategies. Thousands of companies have announced carbon neutrality targets. Still, many are suspected or openly accused of not meeting commitments in actions or investments, which are facilitated by the absence of a common international framework for evaluating and overseeing emission reduction commitments.<\/p>\n<p>Recalling the need to invest massively in renewable energies, the secretary also called for creating a \u201chistoric pact\u201d between the developed and emerging economies of the G20 to promote a fair energy transition. According to the UNEP report, the world is moving away from fossil fuels too slowly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*With information from RTP \u2013 R\u00e1dio e Televis\u00e3o de Portugal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by El\u00fasio Brasileiro<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-319896\">\u00a9Alex Halada\/AFP<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United Nations Secretary-General warned the policies practiced worldwide at the moment are leading the globe towards catastrophe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2315,"featured_media":319896,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[103],"tags":[13750,36068,36069,36070,29927,34201,36074,2012,36075,36076,6252,36071,36072,36073,36077],"class_list":{"0":"post-319912","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sustainability","8":"tag-antonio-guterres-en","9":"tag-aquecimento-da-terra-en","10":"tag-aquecimento-global-en","11":"tag-catastrofe-ambiental-en","12":"tag-cop27-en","13":"tag-cop27-en-2","14":"tag-earth-warming","15":"tag-environment","16":"tag-environmental-catastrophe","17":"tag-environmental-goals","18":"tag-global-warming","19":"tag-greenwashing-en","20":"tag-metas-ambientais-en","21":"tag-onu-cop27-en","22":"tag-un-cop27"},"wps_subtitle":"United Nations Secretary-General warned the policies practiced worldwide at the moment are leading the globe towards catastrophe.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2315"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
