As of today, the plans presented by countries are not enough to keep global warm.
As you know, the plans presented by countries are not enough to keep global warming within the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C degree limit.
That is why UN Secretary-General António Guterres is calling for a special summit in New York, the Climate Action Summit, which will urge global leaders to bring concrete plans that raise ambition on climate action.
Just a couple days before this, young leaders from all over the world will gather at the first ever Youth Climate Summit to showcase climate solutions and engage with decision-makers on the defining issue of our time.
And not to forget, just in between all this, we will see one of the biggest climate marches ever, and the first-ever Global Climate Strike. We will be able to cover the New York demonstration – Greta Thunberg said she will be there too.
