Un calls for a new way to solve many environmental problems at the same time
The world needs a new approach to environmental management that threatens human health and the planet by adopting climate change policies, biodiversity loss, pollution and pollution, according to a UN report released on Tuesday.
Those problems are unequally linked and require solutions that involve increased spending and financial services to shift away from fossil fuels, says the continued pollution of agriculture, the authors of global environmental restrictions.
“You can’t think about climate change without thinking about organisms, pollution and pollution,” said Bob Watson, one of the lead authors and British Climary scientist. “You can’t think about biodiversity loss without thinking about the effects of climate change and pollution.”
“All of them are reducing our economy,” life is getting worse with poverty and poverty and threatening food and water security and even the security of the country, said security officials across the country, Watson.
About 300 scientists from 83 countries contributed to this year’s annual report – called the first ever Global Environmental Assessment – which was released during an environmental conference in Nairobi, Kenya.
Experts have warned that the world is approaching a tipping point in climate change, species and land loss and other damage. But efforts to address those issues have been followed by individual agreements that have not made enough progress, it said.
Instead, they advocate an approach that involves all areas of government, finance, industry and citizens and a circular economy that recognizes that natural resources are finite.
“What we’re saying is how powerful we can be, but it’s going to take unprecedented change to transform these systems,” Watson said. “It has to be done quickly now because we are running out of time.”
Global Point
This report posits a dire future if the world continues on its current course.
The emission of greenhouse gases – mainly from the burning of greenhouse gases such as coal, gas and oil – reached a new level in the year 2024, although there are two decades of negotiations, they have stopped for decades.
Ten years ago, nearly 200 nations signed the Paris Agreement with the goal of limiting future warming to no more than 1.5 c (2.7 f) since pre-industrial times to avoid or mitigate the catastrophic effects of climate change. But on the current trajectory, the climate could warm by 2.4 c (4 f) by 2100, Watson said.
Scientists say climate change is contributing to the creation of hot weather, including extreme storms, droughts, heat waves and wildfires.
In addition, climate change is a multiplier, which means that it makes things like the destruction of the earth, said Kathariney Hayhoe, a climate scientist at Texas Tech University and a senior scientist at Texas Tech University and a scientist who was not in the text.
“If we don’t fix climate change, we can’t fix these other issues, either,” Hayhoe said.
A new report by the United Nations says that almost half of the world’s migratory species are in decline and that many birds and fish are at risk of extinction.
Among other challenges: up to 40 percent of the world’s land is degraded globally; More than a million plants and animals are facing extinction; And pollution contributes to an estimated nine million deaths annually.
Finding the perfect method can be expensive, scientists agree, but they call it less than the potential harm.
The report states that to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 and restore biodiversity, approximately $8 Trillion US in global investment is needed every year. But starting in 2050, economic benefits will outpace money, growing to $20 trillion a year by 2070 and $100 trillion a year thereafter.
Nations must also look beyond gross domestic product as a barometer of economic health, because it does not measure whether growth is sustainable or what its potential harm is, said Watson.
Environmental issues aren’t the only things that come together, Watson said. He also said governments, non-profits, industry and the financial sector must also ensure that there are incentives and funding for renewable agricultural energy and sustainable agricultural practices, for example.
University of Pennsylvania Climate Scientist Michael Mann, who was not involved in the report, welcomed its emphasis on the problems facing governments and the public.
Mann said: “We have to do what is right, rather than what seems to be politically expedient. “The numbers are just too big.”
International Coopel Flesters
Despite the report’s urgent call for action, international cooperation is beyond confirmation, scientists say – especially US President Donald Trump has refused to participate in many discussions.
Trump, who withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement, called climate change a hoax. He promoted the use of fossil fuels, canceled permits for renewable energy and left fuel efficiency standards for cars.
“International action and agreements are becoming more difficult,” said Watson, stressing that this year’s climate conference in Brazil failed to “make a strong commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other issues.”
Brazil’s President Porashi held a high-level climate on Saturday that will boost funds to help poor nations deal with global warming but left out any mention of the fuel oil that calls it. This agreement, reached after two tense weeks in Belém and without the official American delegation, emphasized how different countries live with the future of the climate.
He is speaking this summer in an agreement to deal with plastic pollution in Geneva ended without an agreement, although the UN conference earlier in the year cut down on obligations to protect the world’s biodiversity.
Watson said that the US did not go to the Nairobi government meeting, but they joined the talks on the last day and “they said they did not agree with anything in the report.”
“Other countries would say if the US doesn’t agree to do something, why should we do it?” Watson said.
However, he believes that some countries will move forward, while others, including the US, may fall behind.
Hayhoe said reliable change will happen, because the stakes are getting better.
“It’s not about saving the planet. The planet will be orbiting the sun long after it’s gone,” Hayhoe said. “The question is, Will there be a healthy, thriving human society in that world? And the answer to this question has been at this time.”
