The UN Climate Chief Simon Stiell urged Thursday to accelerate negotiations before COP30 in Brazil, since there was much to do.
Speaking after two weeks of technical conversations in Bonn, Stiell closed the annual climate diplomacy event saying: “We have to go faster and faster.”
Bonn is home to the UN Secretariat of Climate Change, which coordinates international climate policy and houses preparatory conversations every year before climatic summits.
“I’m not going to sugar … we have much more to do before we meet again in Belem,” he said.
COP30 will take place from November 10 to 21 in the Amazon city, which is the capital of the state for.
At the Cop29 UN Summit last year in Azerbaijan, rich nations agreed to increase climatic finances to $ 300 billion a year by 2035, an amount denounced as unfortunately inappropriate.
Azerbaijan and Brazil, which organizes the COP30 conference of this year, have launched an initiative to reduce the deficit, with the expectation of “significant” contributions of international lenders.
This year’s police (parties conference) occurs when the average global temperatures in the last two years have exceeded the reference point of 1.5 ° Celsius established under the climate agreement of Paris a decade ago.
“There is much more work to do to keep 1.5 ° C alive, as science demands. We must find a way to reach difficult decisions before,” Stiell said.
According to the Paris Agreement, the rich developed countries, the most responsible for global warming to date, are obliged to pay climatic finances to the poorest nations.
Other countries, especially China, make voluntary contributions.
