UN Climate Change Director General Simon Stiellga assured today at the opening ceremony of the COP28 climate summit that if we do not start the end of the fossil fuel era, a final phase will begin that will end lives from people.
“If we don’t herald the final phase of the fossil fuel era as we know it, we are hailing our final phase. And we have chosen to pay with our lives,” he said in Dubai, the headquarters of COP28, which will take place until December 12.
He emphasized that if this transition to renewable energy is not fair, no “transition” will happen.
The person in charge of the UN climate crisis said “small steps”, “very slow” steps were being taken by an unstable world that lacked the resilience to develop the best responses to the “complex consequences” facing the world confronted.
“We need to teach climate change because this was the hottest year for humanity. “Many shocking records have been broken,” he noted, explaining that these records are “costing people their lives and livelihoods.”
Stiell wanted to remind everyone that all participants in this COP appear on a public list for the first time after the UN changed the accreditation rules to make them more “transparent”.
“Yes, this is the largest COP yet,” he stated, as around 70,000 delegates are expected, but participating in a climate summit “is not enough to achieve this year’s climate goals.” You are responsible for climate protection, here and at home,” he concluded.
