All countries are doing too little for the climate: 'There is no excuse anymore'

The UN environmental program's report reveals that global greenhouse gas emissions have not peaked, with deforestation decreasing too slowly and fossil fuel regulations insufficient. The goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is now deemed unattainable, with projections indicating a rise of nearly 3 degrees. The report emphasizes the need for urgent action, highlighting that while some countries have reduced emissions, faster measures are necessary. António Guterres calls for a transition away from coal and fossil fuels, urging nations to develop plans for fossil fuel phase-out. The report also stresses the importance of protecting populations from climate disasters, which are becoming more frequent and severe.
