'The need to act to combat climate change has never been more urgent.' | NicolaSturgeon
, scientists are warning that they are going to become more and more common as the years go on and as climate change progresses.
In those 30 years, the world has come a long way in the fight against climate change and its negative impacts on our planet. We are now able to better understand the science behind climate change, assess its impacts, and develop tools to address its causes and consequences. But despite that, the situation is graver than ever.
I attended COP27 at the start of this week to do what I can to further collaboration between Scotland and other countries, to build on the agreements that were reached in Glasgow and to continue Scotland’s leadership on tackling the climate emergency, especially on the important issue of loss and damage.
However, that does not mean that we can row back on the commitments made in Glasgow. In fact, it’s more important than ever that we act, and soon, because the answer to many global challenges lies in tackling climate change and nature loss at a quicker pace. And Scotland will continue play its part by sharing our own experiences of delivering a net-zero target at home, as part of our just transition, and by helping to amplify the voices of people who are being most impacted by climate change but are often also excluded from the debate - including people from the countries of the global south, women and young people.
The science is clear that we may be approaching a tipping point for the twin crises of nature and climate - with the International Panel on Climate Change warning in April that it is “now or never” to limit global warming.
