Sami Shoukri, the president of last year's United Nations climate change conference,
00:05
announcing the opening of COP28 in Dubai, where UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres
00:11
is expected to deliver an urgent appeal. In an interview with AFP, Guterres said the time
00:17
for slowing down is over.
00:20
The only thing that is still lacking is political will. And I mean, this is why the COP is important,
00:28
to make people understand that we are really moving in a very wrong direction still. We
00:35
are heading, if nothing happens, to three degrees, and three degrees would be a total
00:40
disaster.
00:41
Earlier this week, Guterres joined the annual UN and African Union conference in New York.
00:46
He stressed the two bodies must work together on African-led solutions for African problems.
00:51
For that, for instance, we need to have a massive support to Africa. There is an absurdity.
00:57
Africa has 60% of the solar capacity, and Africa has 2% of solar investment. So we need
01:04
to create a global solar alliance for Africa.
01:08
Back in the Arab Emirate, activists gathered in support of vegan food policies. According
01:13
to researchers, people who follow a plant-based diet generate 75% less greenhouse gas emissions
01:19
a day than their meat-eating counterparts.
