for the UN, the efforts of world governments are not enough

According to the UN, to improve the situation in the face of global warming, it would be necessary to do seven times better. “There is a chasm to be filled in order to hope to limit global warming”, explains Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations. “On the podium of ‘climate dunces’, we find three oil-exporting countries: China, Canada, Saudi Arabia. Another country singled out: India, the first country emitting fine particles and which has zero reduction commitment in this sense “, reports Jean Chamoulaud, journalist by France Télévisions, Tuesday October 26.

49 countries account for 60% of CO2 across the planet and these countries are committed to achieving carbon neutrality within 30 years. “One country is particularly watched: the United States. Joe Biden has made the promise to double the commitment of Donald Trump, his predecessor. He wants to achieve the 50% reduction in CO2 in 2050. In 2020, France reduced its CO2 production by 9.2%“, adds the journalist.
