Scientist gives a stark assessment, warning that global effort still falls short of what is required."Most people know climate change is real.The denialism we face is not only related to climate. It is multilateral. No one is safe from the effects of climate change. Green and low carbon transition is the trend of our time. While some country is acting against it, the international community should stay focused on the right direction." WATCH TVC News Nigeria report Sep 25- World Leaders Unveil New National Climate Plans Ahead COP30- transcript below -ahead of 0:02 COP 30 in Bellum, Brazil this November, 0:06 unveiling new climate targets and 0:08 reaffirming their determination to 0:10 address the climate crisis. For the 0:12 first time, major economies including 0:14 China, the world's largest emitter as 0:17 well as Nigeria announced economywide 0:20 emissions reduction goals covering old 0:23 greenhouse gases as well as other 0:25 sectors. Asuko James reports from New 0:28 York. 0:29 Excellency Donald Trump, President of 0:32 the United States of America. 0:34 When US President Donald Trump mounted 0:36 the rostrom at the UN General Assembly, 0:38 his remarks on climate change 0:40 reverberated across the hall, he was 0:42 blunt in dismissing global climate 0:45 efforts. The carbon footprint is a hoax 0:50 made up by people with evil intentions 0:53 and they're heading down a path of total 0:56 destruction. 0:56 Despite this sharp criticism, climate 0:58 scientist Professor Katherine Heiho give 1:01 a stark assessment warning that global 1:03 effort still falls short of what is 1:05 required to meet the Paris agreement. 1:08 Majority of people know the four basics. 1:12 Most people know climate change is real. 1:16 It is humancaused. 1:18 It is serious. And the experts agree. 1:22 These four things make us worried. 1:25 The UN Secretary General says all 1:27 parties to the Paris Agreement must 1:29 submit new national climate plan or 1:32 nationally determined contributions that 1:35 reflect bold action for the next decade. 1:37 New plans can take us a significant step 1:40 forward. 1:42 A UN report will calculate their impact 1:46 for global emissions. 1:48 If they fall short, we must create the 1:51 conditions for a decade of acceleration. 1:55 At a high level meeting, world leaders 1:57 unveiled new commitments, stressing that 2:00 the energy transition represent not just 2:02 environmental necessity, but also an 2:05 opportunity for technological and 2:07 economic transformation along with the 2:09 industrial revolution. 2:11 The denialism we face is not only 2:15 related to climate. It is multilateral. 2:20 No one is safe from the effects of 2:24 climate change. 2:26 Green and lowcarbon transition is the 2:28 trend of our time. 2:31 While some country is acting against it, 2:36 the international community should stay 2:38 focused on the right direction. 2:42 Because the question is no longer if the 2:44 transition will occur and how fast, but 2:48 who will benefit. 2:50 Europe's answer is clear. All countries 2:53 worldwide should reap the benefits, 2:56 especially the most vulnerables. 2:59 And that is why we will remain the 3:02 world's largest providers of climate 3:04 finance. As the meeting drew to a close, 3:08 leaders agreed to identify concrete 3:10 pathways to accelerate the Paris 3:12 agreement implementation. 3:14 They emphasized that climate action must 3:17 be tied directly to people and 3:19 businesses and this reinforces 3:22 multilateral cooperation that drives 3:24 sustainable change.
