“Mother Nature is not waiting. The past decade was the hottest on record. Dangerous greenhouse gases are at levels not seen in three million years. Global temperature has already risen 1.2 degrees Celsius – racing toward the threshold of catastrophe. Meanwhile, we see ever rising sea-levels, scorching temperatures, devastating tropical cyclones and epic wildfires. We need a green planet — but the world is on red alert.”

4. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Leaders everywhere must take action. First, by building a global coalition for net-zero emissions by mid-century – every country, every region, every city, every company and every industry. Second, by making this a decade of transformation. All countries – starting with major emitters – should submit new and more ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions for mitigation, adaptation and finance, laying out actions and policies for the next 10 years aligned with a 2050 net-zero pathway. Third, we need to translate those commitments into concrete, immediate action. So far, only 18 to 24 percent of pandemic recovery spending is expected to contribute to mitigating emissions, reducing air pollution or strengthening natural capital.”

“We must put a price on carbon, shifting taxation from income to carbon; end subsidies for fossil fuels; ramp up investments in renewable energy and green infrastructure; stop the financing of coal and the building of new coal power plants and phase out coal by 2030 in the wealthiest countries, and by 2040 everywhere else; ensure a just transition for affected people and communities.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“To build a truly global net zero coalition, we need a breakthrough on finance and adaptation, and this is critical for trust and collective action. Donors and multilateral and national development banks must move from 20 to 50 per cent in all climate finance flows to resilience and adaptation.”

STORYLINE:
Addressing United States President Joe Biden’s Leaders’ Summit on Climate, Secretary-General António Guterres today (22 Apr) said, “Mother Nature is not waiting,” and called on leaders everywhere to take action.
The Secretary General said, “the past decade was the hottest on record. Dangerous greenhouse gases are at levels not seen in three million years. Global temperature has already risen 1.2 degrees Celsius – racing toward the threshold of catastrophe. Meanwhile, we see ever rising sea-levels, scorching temperatures, devastating tropical cyclones and epic wildfires. We need a green planet — but the world is on red alert.”
Guterres urged action on “building a global coalition for net-zero emissions by mid-century – every country, every region, every city, every company and every industry.”
Second, he said, “by making this a decade of transformation. All countries – starting with major emitters – should submit new and more ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions for mitigation, adaptation and finance, laying out actions and policies for the next 10 years aligned with a 2050 net-zero pathway.”
Third, he continued, “we need to translate those commitments into concrete, immediate action. So far, only 18 to 24 percent of pandemic recovery spending is expected to contribute to mitigating emissions, reducing air pollution or strengthening natural capital.”
Guterres said, “we must put a price on carbon, shifting taxation from income to carbon; end subsidies for fossil fuels; ramp up investments in renewable energy and green infrastructure; stop the financing of coal and the building of new coal power plants and phase out coal by 2030 in the wealthiest countries, and by 2040 everywhere else; ensure a just transition for affected people and communities.”
Finally, the Secretary-General said, “we need a breakthrough on finance and adaptation,” and added that this was “critical for trust and collective action.”
He said, “donors and multilateral and national development banks must move from 20 to 50 per cent in all climate finance flows to resilience and adaptation.”
He told leaders that before the United Nations climate conference in November in Glasgow, concrete proposals that ease access to greater finance and technological support for the most vulnerable countries are needed.
Following the conclusion of the summit, the Secretary-General issued a statement thanking President Biden for convening today’s Leaders’ Summit, and stated that "commitments and actions announced, provide a much needed boost to our collective efforts to address the climate crisis ahead of COP 26 in November in Glasgow."
He welcomed the announcement of new and enhanced national determined contributions including by the United States of America, Canada, and Japan, the commitment of Brazil to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, as well as the announcement by the Republic of Korea that it will end all external financing of coal and submit a more ambitious NDC this year.
