UN. Fight Against Climate Change Deadlocked

Despite all the efforts of mankind, the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, as well as transitioning to a “green and sustainable” economic system in the world to cope with increasingly dangerous climate change, “instead of accelerating, is deadlocked.”

UN experts came to such far from encouraging conclusions in their latest report on the progress of the UN Environment Program.

“Humanity,” the UN experts emphasized, “is not sufficiently prepared to meet these urgent challenges, is not investing enough, and does not have the necessary planning, which puts us all at risk.”

In his commentary on the study’s findings, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that “it is more important than ever to act to protect people and nature.”

According to statistics presented in the report, “the cost of reforming and adapting developing economies this decade is estimated at between $215 billion and $387 billion per year,” but it is expected to rise significantly, with a real spike by 2050.

The report also said that despite commitments made by countries around the world at the Glasgow Climate Conference, also known as COP26, to “double international financial support for adaptation to around $40 billion per year by 2025, funding has instead been cut in 2021 by 15%, falling below $21 billion.”

After reading these alarming and dangerous implications for the green agenda, Guterres called on governments around the world to impose higher taxes on “the profits of fossil fuel producers” and to direct some of this money to countries suffering losses and damage from climate change. The Secretary-General of the United Nations, whose calls have recently been compared to “the voice in the wilderness,” concluded that, in his opinion, “tax revenues from the largest producers of emissions and pollutants into the Earth’s atmosphere could become one of the new and important financing sources.”
