The UN climate summit is to finalise its ongoing negotiations that were launched two weeks ago.
The negotiations have been failed till now to resolve several key disputes.
200 participating nations engaged in the talks to reach a deal to prevent catastrophic global warming.
The UN chief has earlier called on world leaders to speed up and agree on a deal to prevent “climate catastrophe”.
Pope’s Message
Pope Francis has earlier urged world leaders to take “radical decisions” at next week’s global environmental summit.
The Pope talked of crises including the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change and economic difficulties. He further urged the world to respond to them with vision and radical decisions. He also called not to “waste opportunities” that the current challenges present.
“We can confront these crises by retreating into isolationism, protectionism and exploitation. Or we can see in them a real chance for change, he further said.
Earlier, an UN-appointed panel of experts said that the earth is getting so hot
that temperatures in about a decade will probably blow past the most ambitious threshold
set in the Paris accord.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described the report as a “code red” for humanity.
He stressed that it “must sound a death knell for coal and fossil fuels before they destroy the planet.”
