@antonioguterres

A new momentum is emerging.

Many large emitters have committed to achieving zero net emissions by 2050.

The main goal of the @UN this year is to build a global coalition for carbon neutrality.

Every country, city & business must adopt an ambitious roadmap to reach this target.

@UNFCCC

For the world to meet the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, #RenewableEnergy needs to grow at least 4 times faster than today. Stay tuned for new developments during @IRENA's 11th Assembly 18 - 21 January, with the participation of @PEspinosaC #IRENA11A

@UNFCCC

Climate Change is upon us.

Almost three-quarters of nations have some adaptation plans in place, but financing and implementation fall far short of what is needed. Read @UN_News_Centre summary of yesterday's #AdaptationGap report launch 👇🏾

@UNFCCC

See the relevant @WMO press release 👉🏾

@UNFCCC

The latest statistics from the @WMO on record high temperatures point to a persistent long-term global heating trend.

The global community needs to buck this trend by actively pursuing the goals of the #ParisAgreement 👇

@WMO

WMO consolidation of 5 major temperature datasets:

🌡️2020 one of the 3 warmest years on record, rivalled 2016 for the top spot
2011-2020 warmest decade
Warmest 6 years all since 2015

Cooling #LaNiña put a brake on the heat only at very end of the year.

@UNFCCC

Climate adaptation is crucial for the 🌍 to prepare for the unavoidable effects of climate change.

However, according to a new @UNEP report, action to achieve that goal “is lagging far behind where it should be”.

Full story:

#AdaptationGap

@UNFCCC

"Progress is urgently needed. Only 10 months remain until COP26. Our work up to that point will be instrumental for all countries to raise adaptation ambition" - @PEspinosaC at launch of @UNEP #AdaptationReport

@UNFCCC

"Like many other issues in the climate change arena, however, the issue of finance remains a significant obstacle. The report shows that despite an increase in the finance available for adaptation, the adaptation finance gap is not yet closing" - @PEspinosaC #AdaptationReport

@UNFCCC

.@PEspinosaC at launch of @UNEP #AdaptationReport: "It is encouraging to note that nations are working hard to develop climate change adaptation plans. 72 per cent of all signatories to the Paris Agreement have adopted at least one national-level adaptation planning instrument."

@AlokSharma_RDG

Today I started a comprehensive round of consultations with chairs of the @UNFCCC negotiating groups 🌍

Great to hear from the African Group of Negotiators, Umbrella Group & Environmental Integrity Group on their priorities for #COP26 and on how we can work together this year

@UNFCCC

Adaptation is a key pillar of the Paris Climate Change Agreement.

Join the virtual launch of the @UNEP #AdaptationGap Report with top UN officials including UNFCCC head @PEspinosaC

📅 14 January 2021
⏰ 1:00pm EAT/11:00am CET

@UNFCCC

One focus of @UNEP's #AdaptationGap report presented tomorrow will be on #NatureBasedSolutions to climate change. Here is one of them (via @CASsummit2021)

@UNFCCC

The Champs-Élysées - “the world’s most beautiful avenue” - is going green 💚

Less space for 🚗, more space for 🌳: The famous street in downtown Paris is on track to become more climate-friendly.

@UNFCCC

On 14 January, the United Nations Environment Programme will publish the 2021 #AdaptationGap Report. This will be an opportunity to look at National Adaptation Plans under the UNFCCC. But what are NAPs? We've got you covered.

@UNFCCC

.@PEspinosaC: "Climate finance is essential to rebuild trust. Those who have the most responsibility and the possibilities to contribute to climate action, so those in the developed world, must realize it is in their interest to help developing countries" #ReutersNext

@UNFCCC

.@PEspinosaC at #ReutersNext interview: "We have received only around 75 NDCs (national climate action plans under the Paris Agreement) out of around 200. This shows that the climate agenda is presently not at the level of priority it needs to be."
