UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that the IPCC report launched today is “a clarion call to massively fast-track climate efforts by every country and every sector and on every timeframe.” In a reference to this year’s Best Film Academy Award winner, he said, “our world needs climate action on all fronts -- everything, everywhere, all at once.” IPCC

PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE
3.SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Humanity is on thin ice – and that ice is melting fast. As today’s report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) details, humans are responsible for virtually all global heating over the last 200 years. The rate of temperature rise in the last half century is the highest in 2,000 years. Concentrations of carbon dioxide are at their highest in at least two million years.”

PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE
5.SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“This report is a clarion call to massively fast-track climate efforts by every country and every sector and on every timeframe. In short, our world needs climate action on all fronts -- everything, everywhere, all at once.”

PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE
7. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Specifically, leaders of developed countries must commit to reaching net zero as close as possible to 2040, the limit they should all aim to respect. This can be done. Some have already set a target as early as 2035. Leaders in emerging economies must commit to reaching net zero as close as possible to 2050 – again, the limit they should all aim to respect.”

PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE
9. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“I urge all governments to prepare energy transition plans consistent with these actions and ready for investors. I am also calling on CEOs of all oil and gas companies to be part of the solution. They should present credible, comprehensive and detailed transition plans in line with the recommendations of my High-Level Expert Group on net zero pledges. These plans must clearly detail actual emission cuts for 2025 and 2030, and efforts to change business models to phase out fossil fuels and scale up renewable energy.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“We need to seize the opportunity to invest in credible innovations that can contribute to reaching our global targets. We must also speed-up efforts to deliver climate justice to those on the frontlines of many crises – none of them they caused.”

13. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“By the end of COP28, I count on all G20 leaders to have committed to ambitious new economy-wide nationally determined contributions encompassing all greenhouse gases and indicating their absolute emissions cuts targets for 2035 and 2040.”

STORYLINE:
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that the new IPCC report is “a clarion call to massively fast-track climate efforts by every country and every sector and on every timeframe.” In a reference to this year’s Best Film Academy Award winner, he said, “our world needs climate action on all fronts -- everything, everywhere, all at once.”
In a video message to the launch of the synthesis report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) today (20 Mar), Guterres said that the report is a how-to guide to defuse the climate time-bomb. It is a survival guide for humanity. As it shows, the 1.5-degree limit is achievable. But it will take a quantum leap in climate action.
The UN chief has proposed to the G20 group of highly developed economies a “Climate Solidarity Pact,” in which all big emitters would make extra efforts to cut emissions, and wealthier countries would mobilize financial and technical resources to support emerging economies in a common effort to ensure that global temperatures do not rise by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Guterres announced that he is presenting a plan to boost efforts to achieve the Pact through an Acceleration Agenda.
He explained, “Specifically, leaders of developed countries must commit to reaching net zero as close as possible to 2040, the limit they should all aim to respect. This can be done. Some have already set a target as early as 2035. Leaders in emerging economies must commit to reaching net zero as close as possible to 2050 – again, the limit they should all aim to respect.”
The UN chief urged all governments to “prepare energy transition plans consistent with these actions and ready for investor.” He also called on CEOs of all oil and gas companies to “be part of the solution.”
Guterres said, “They should present credible, comprehensive and detailed transition plans in line with the recommendations of my High-Level Expert Group on net zero pledges. These plans must clearly detail actual emission cuts for 2025 and 2030, and efforts to change business models to phase out fossil fuels and scale up renewable energy.”
He added, “We need to seize the opportunity to invest in credible innovations that can contribute to reaching our global targets. We must also speed-up efforts to deliver climate justice to those on the frontlines of many crises – none of them they caused.”
These measures, continued Guterres, must accompany safeguards for the most vulnerable communities, scaling up finance and capacities for adaptation and loss and damage, and promoting reforms to ensure Multilateral Development Banks provide more grants and loans, and fully mobilize private finance.
Looking ahead to the upcoming UN climate conference, due to be held in Dubai from 30 November to 12 December, Guterres said that he expects all G20 leaders to have committed to ambitious new economy-wide nationally determined contributions encompassing all greenhouse gases, and indicating their absolute emissions cuts targets for 2035 and 2040.
The study, “Climate Change 2023: Synthesis Report”, released on Monday following a week-long IPCC session in Interlaken, brings into sharp focus the losses and damages experienced now, and expected to continue into the future, which are hitting the most vulnerable people and ecosystems especially hard.
Temperatures have already risen to 1.1 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, a consequence of more than a century of burning fossil fuels, as well as unequal and unsustainable energy and land use. This has resulted in more frequent and intense extreme weather events that have caused increasingly dangerous impacts on nature and people in every region of the world.
Climate-driven food and water insecurity is expected to grow with increased warming: when the risks combine with other adverse events, such as pandemics or conflicts, they become even more difficult to manage.
