reuters.com/world/un-climate-chief-says-two-years-save-planet-2024-04-10/
Quick Glance: U.N. climate chief emphasizes urgency in global climate action
- Governments worldwide are urged to act within two years to prevent worsening climate change, with a focus on halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to avoid a significant temperature increase. Despite rising emissions last year, current commitments are insufficient in reducing global emissions by 2030.
- The next two years are crucial for saving the planet, according to the Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Stronger national climate plans are deemed essential, especially from the G20 countries, responsible for 80% of global emissions. A key goal of this year's UN climate negotiations is to establish a new climate finance target to aid developing nations in transitioning away from fossil fuels.
- Efforts are being made to provide more climate finance through debt relief, affordable financing for poorer countries, new international funding sources like a shipping emissions tax, and reforms at institutions such as the World Bank and IMF. Additionally, calls are made for a revamp of capital requirements and increased use of Climate Resilient Debt Clauses at the World Bank. Politicians worldwide are urged to prioritize climate action as it often takes a backseat on government agendas.

Quick Glance: Greta Thunberg protests against fossil fuels in the Netherlands
- The demonstration was specifically targeted against the subsidies for fossil fuels in the Netherlands.
- Climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained twice by police at a demonstration in the Netherlands, after she and a group of marchers blocked a main road to protest against these subsidies.
- Hundreds of protesters marched from The Hague’s city center to the nearby A12 arterial highway that connects the Dutch government's seat with other cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht.
- Organized by the Extinction Rebellion (XR) environmental group, the demonstration was part of efforts to pressure the Dutch government ahead of another planned debate on subsidies for fossil fuels in June.
