UNFCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell has called on the world’s countries to submit their new national climate change plans for the period up to 2035.
The deadline is Monday. Stiell said the plans must be submitted by September at the latest. Only then can they be included in the UN report to be published before the world climate conference in Belém, Brazil, in November. Stiell is currently in Brasília for planning talks with the newly appointed president of the conference, Corrêa do Lago.
Corrêa do Lago called on signatories to the Paris Agreement to be ambitious. The targets put forward by individual countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions must be as ambitious as possible, he said.
