According to the latest United Nations climate panel report, global warming is close to spiraling out of out control. The report says that the world is certain to face further climate disruptions for decades, if not centuries, to come.
The report also highlights the fact that global temperatures are on course to reach 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by 2050, ten years earlier than earlier projections.
Minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, Barbara Creecy, said: “I think this is a very significant report that has taken over seven years to produce and its obviously made headlines around the world because of its very dire predictions with regards to the impact of climate change on humanity. The report also says it would be much better if we could keep average global temperatures increase below the 1.5-degree mark. South Africa is committed to doing our bit, we are a very small emitter we are only responsible for 1% of global emissions.”
