UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says that $300 billion are needed for nations by 2030 to deal with climate-related disasters
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres , UAE Minister of State for Youth Affairs Shamma al-Mazrui and UAE minister of climate change Thani al-Zeyoudi chair a panel during the opening of the Abu Dhabi climate meeting Summit on June 30, 2019 in Abu Dhabi.
"We are here because the world is facing a grave climate emergency," Guterres told a two-day Abu Dhabi Climate Meeting to prepare for a Climate Action Summit in New York in September. He warned the situation would only deteriorate unless "we act now with ambition and urgency", but some of the world's decision-makers still did not realise the dangers.
"But we know that even if the promises of Paris are fully met, we still face at least a three-degree temperature rise by the end of the century -- a catastrophe for life as we know it," Guterres said.
