The latest UN assessment on climate progress delivers a stark warning: the world is not on pace to achieve the Paris Agreement targets of limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, and ideally below 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels. This critical report underscores the urgent need for accelerated action to combat climate change.
Nature is sending an unmistakable message – it's time for the international community to unite and address this formidable challenge effectively. The implications of inaction are profound, affecting ecosystems, economies, and communities worldwide.
In response to these alarming findings, a pivotal discussion is set to take place at the Bund Summit. Michael Wang from CGTN will moderate the roundtable titled \"Addressing Climate Change: Priorities and Roadmap\" on September 23 from 9:00 to 9:45 GMT. This event aims to gather global leaders and experts to chart a path forward, emphasizing collaborative efforts and innovative solutions to steer the world back on course.
As the urgency intensifies, the role of young global citizens, business innovators, and thought leaders becomes increasingly crucial in driving meaningful change. The Bund Summit promises to offer a comprehensive perspective on how diverse sectors can contribute to a sustainable future.
