Failure to end use of fossil fuels will be a 'death sentence' to millions worldwide, Swedish activist Greta Thunberg warned on Tuesday (June 13)
BONN — Failure to end use of fossil fuels will be a"death sentence" to millions worldwide, Swedish activist Greta Thunberg warned on Tuesday , urging politicians to take more ambitious action.
She was referring to the 2015 Paris Agreement, at which world leaders pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions enough to prevent the Earth's annual temperature rising by more than 1.5 to 2.0°C, and thus halt runaway global warming. "It is already a death sentence to countless of people living on the frontlines of the climate crisis."
They want world leaders to agree to phase out fossil fuels at the UN climate negotiations in Dubai in late 2023, after failing at their summit in Glasgow in 2021 and again in Sharm-El-Sheikh in 2022.
