London: British Prime Minister Boris johnson Rich countries were called on Monday to meet a pledge to spend $100 billion every year to combat climate change as they prepare to host United Nations The summit is starting in late October.
Johnson and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will hold a roundtable of world leaders on Monday, calling on rich countries to fulfill an unfulfilled promise made in 2009.
“Rich countries have taken advantage of unabated pollution for generations, often at the expense of developing countries,” Johnson said in a statement.
“As those countries now strive to develop their economies in a clean, green and sustainable way, we have a duty to support them in doing so – with our technology, with our expertise and with what we have promised. with money.”
Rich countries committed $100 billion last year to help developing countries tackle climate change after raising funding by less than 2% in 2019, a report released Friday by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development said. Missed the goal to contribute.
UN analysis of country’s pledges under Paris The climate agreement released last week says that under current national pledges, global emissions will be 16% higher in 2030 than in 2010 – a 45% reduction by 2030 that scientists say is needed to halt catastrophic climate change. Necessary.
The United Nations said that without more ambitious commitments, global temperatures could reach 2.7C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century.
