“2021 is a key year in the fight against climate change,” TASS quotes Guterres as saying at the preparatory event for the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-26), which will be held in November in Glasgow.
He stressed that no later than the start of COP-26, all countries should come up with significantly more ambitious national measures aimed at achieving zero emissions by 2030.
The secretary general also added that developed countries must fulfill the promise to allocate $ 100 billion a year to finance climate programs in developing countries.
On January 27, the US President's special envoy for climate change, John Kerry, announced an international summit on climate change.
