The executive secretary of the United Nations, Simon Stiell, says countries need to accelerate climate action because communities around the world depend on it.
Speaking during the opening plenary of the 28th session of the climate change conference (COP28), Stiell said the world is taking baby steps that are far too slow to mitigate the complex impact of climate change.
He said 2023 has broken so many terrifying records and the world will continue to pay with people’s lives if action is not taken now.
