He said, “Earth is becoming hotter and more dangerous for everyone, everywhere.”
Guterres said: “This week the world has experienced the three hottest days on record.
Earth is becoming hotter and more dangerous for everyone, everywhere.
We must rise to the challenge of rising temperatures.”
According to un.org:
Crippling heat is everywhere. Billions of people around the world are wilting under increasingly severe heatwaves driven largely by a fossil-fuel charged, human-induced climate crisis. More than 70 per cent of the global workforce – 2.4 billion people – are now at high risk of extreme heat. The most vulnerable communities are hit hardest.
