The Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterreshas become serious once again with the fight against climate change and has asked this Saturday more “climate action” cut deeper and faster in emissions to limit a 1.5 degree Celsius rise in global temperature.

“Healthy ecosystems, from oceans and rivers to forests and grasslands are also critical in our fight against climate change. Let’s get to work implementing the UN’s landmark biodiversity deal to guarantee that 30 percent of the land and the Earth’s water are protected by 2030″, Guterres has requested in a statement by the Earth day.

He has also requestedmassive investments” for countries and communities more vulnerable. The UN Secretary General believes that, although governments must lead these changes, both companies, institutions and civil society must have an important role.

“Our actions are destroying forests, jungles, farmlands, wetlands, oceans, coral reefs, rivers, seas and lakes. Biodiversity is collapsing as a million species become teeter on the edge of extinction. We must end these relentless and senseless wars against nature. We have the tools, the knowledge and the solutions. But we must speed up the pace“, Guterres has claimed.

He has also given as an example the “wisdom” of the indigenous communities and their “millennial care for the environment”, and has concluded with an appeal to all people to “raise their voices” and demand that leaders protect the planet as much for the present and for future generations.
