Among other alerts, the UN Secretary General has claimed for the failure to comply with the promises to allocate 100 billion dollars to the least developed countries for the design of pollutant reduction strategies and for the clear delay in the need to reduce the greenhouse gases by 45% by 2030, among others.
The world is looking at this meeting as a showcase that can represent a qualitative leap from the few advances seen to date. The new failures that may result from the Glasgow event can put the world on a path of no return if we look at the seriousness of the problems that scientists have solidly demonstrated:
– An increase in the main greenhouse gases in 2020.
– Global emissions from sectors such as electricity and industrials recovered their pollution levels prior to 2019, since the pandemic barely had an impact on their dynamics.
– The global average temperature in the period 2017-2021 is among the warmest recorded in history (1.06 to 1.26 degrees) above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900).
– The extreme phenomena registered in Europe and the United States, in addition to the increased vulnerability of regions of Central America and the Caribbean, among others, account for the impacts of anthropogenic climate change.
– By 2050 about 216 million people could be forced to migrate due to the problems derived from the depredation of their environment. Of this population, Sub-Saharan Africa could see the displacement of up to 86 million of its inhabitants; 49 million from Asia and the Pacific; 40 million from South Asia; 19 million from North Africa and 17 million from Latin America, among other regions.
