Discussing Climate Change, UN says Only Drastic Actions can Avoid Adverse Effects of it

Talking about the serious issue of climate change, the UN says only drastic actions can help in avoiding the adverse effects of it.

The effects of climate change have been the concern of almost everyone now. People are now understanding the need to take steps to save the Earth from the adverse effects of climate change. And looking at the current situations the United Nations has said that only drastic actions can help us to avoid the adverse effects of climate change.

After thinking about the possible solutions to combat the effects of climate change, according to the new findings of the UN, only unprecedented cuts in greenhouse gas emissions is the hope to avert the consequences of this great problem.

The protests across the world due to the climate changes have put pressure on the world leaders to make changes, which led to Tuesday’s U.N. report which offers a grim assessment of how off-track the world remains. According to the report, the global temperatures are on pace to rise as much as 3.9 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. All this was mentioned in the United Nations’ annual “emissions gap” report, which evaluates the difference between the world’s current path and the changes needed to meet the goals of the 2015 Paris climate accord.

The scientists have said if things continued to be like this, the result could be widespread and disastrous. Coral reefs are already dying in some parts of the world, which would probably dissolve into increasingly acidic oceans. As a result of climate change, some coastal cities are already fighting with flooding, which would be constantly inundated by rising seas. In much of the world, severe heat, which is already intense, could become unbearable for living beings leaving them harmed.

Global greenhouse gas emissions are required to begin falling by 7.6% every year starting from 2020, which is a rate that is at present nowhere insight in order to meet the most ambitious aims of the Paris climate accord, as mentioned in the report issued on Tuesday. The authors of this report have acknowledged that the findings are “bleak.” After all, the world has never demonstrated the ability to cut greenhouse gas emissions on such a large scale.

“Our collective failure to act early and hard on climate change means we now must deliver deep cuts to the emissions,”

said Inger Anderson, executive director of the U.N. Environment Program, in a statement while announcing the findings.

“We need to catch up on the years in which we procrastinated.”
