Kerry calls for urgent action
THE consequences of not taking further action on climate change would be “beyond catastrophic” for the planet, US climate envoy John Kerry has warned.
The former secretary of state said the need to tackle the issue is “extremely urgent” for the whole world.
Global leaders are to take part in a virtual summit on climate change from Thursday, as US president Joe Biden leads a push to cut emissions.
The two-day summit will attempt to galvanise efforts by major economies ahead of key UN talks in Glasgow this November.
