Global Climate Pledges , Unlikely To Be Fulfilled, , UN Report Finds.<br />The UN published its latest report on Oct. 26.<br />It finds that 26 countries out of 193 have adhered to plans laid out to curtail the climate emergency.<br />According to the report, the result <br />of inaction will be a future of climate chaos.<br />This year we’ve seen little of the climate action governments promised at the end of Glasgow, , Niklas Höhne, NewClimate Institute, <br />via 'The New York Times'.<br />... amid a deluge of new science telling us that we have to move faster, and that limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is still entirely possible, Niklas Höhne, NewClimate Institute, <br />via 'The New York Times'.<br />We need governments to set strong targets that drive emissions down, and decarbonize their economies, Niklas Höhne, NewClimate Institute, <br />via 'The New York Times'.<br />According to the World Resources Institute, several countries have updated their climate commitments, .<br />... but because the updates come at such a <br />perilous moment "they are making up for lost time.".<br />Of the major economies, <br />we have seen a few countries update this year. India formalized its commitments;, Taryn Fransen, World Resources Institute, <br />via 'The New York Times'.<br />Australia updated theirs <br />when they got a new <br />government in place; <br />Indonesia followed through, Taryn Fransen, World Resources Institute, <br />via 'The New York Times'.<br />But each of those countries <br />had failed to update their [nationally determined contribution]s until now, so they are making up for lost time, Taryn Fransen, World Resources Institute, <br />via 'The New York Times'.<br />Analysts say that the UN report is further evidence that the wealthiest nations continue to fall short of their own climate commitments.<br />The latest UN report once again shows that those most responsible for the climate crisis remain unwilling to face up to their responsibilities, Mo Ibrahim, Sudanese-British Philanthropist, <br />via 'The New York Times'.<br />Unless urgent action is taken to hold richer countries to account, the developing world will continue to foot the bill, at the cost of numerous lives, Mo Ibrahim, Sudanese-British Philanthropist, <br />via 'The New York Times'
