UN chief calls for an "ambition supernova" as nations make minor progress on climate action

The United Nations has found that governments around the world are still falling short on climate action and are off track to limit global warming, as revealed in a new analysis of national climate plans ahead of COP28. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres states that the world is failing to address the climate crisis.
Despite some marginal steps towards emissions reduction, countries' climate action plans are still far from what is required to tackle human-caused warming and mitigate the devastating effects of extreme weather events.
Current plans show that greenhouse gas emissions are projected to increase by 9% by 2030 compared to 2010 levels, but a reduction of 45% by the end of this decade is necessary to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
