Nerves are high. Communities are concerned. The world is “on the highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator”, UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres warned at the start of Cop27 this week.
Addressing world leaders at the start of the climate summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, he said, “We are in the fight of our lives – and we are losing,” with greenhouse gases still growing and temperatures still rising at an alarming rate. Our planet is in jeopardy.
