Next ten days at Warsaw: Climate Change, Politics and Expectations

The 19th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC and the 9th session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol will take place from today i.e. 11 till 22 November. As written in our last blog however nothing concrete is expected from Warsaw but this is a definite that we will see a roadmap of future developments in the field of Carbon.
At the end of September, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published its latest findings, reaffirming that human-generated climate change is real. This week, the World Meteorological Organization reported that the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached a new record high in 2012, continuing an upward and accelerating trend. Also this week, the UN Environment Programme issued its 2013 Emissions Gap Report, outlining that the gap between what has been pledged so far in the way of emission reduction pledges and what is required for the world to stay below the agreed maximum two degrees Celsius temperature rise has widened compared to last year
We are lucky that we are having scientific capabilities to identify and analyze the threat for which we are vulnerable. We have enough evidences of increased natural extremities and Philippines is the very latest example of this taking life of more that 10,000 innocent people.
Now time has come to take a call to limit the emission for two degree Celsius otherwise extinction and adaptation is law of nature. We hope that the delegates will be seriously consider the latest reports from UN and well as IPCC and will unite for the great cause of saving mother earth.
