Talking about Glasgow United Nations Climate Summit, Said Sir Patrick Valance, and Coronavirus disease It is a problem of two to four years, and the other is a problem of 50 to 100 years. If we do not take action, the number of people who die from climate change will exceed the coronavirus.
He said that, like fighting the pandemic of global warming, a combination of technology and behavioral change is needed.
He told the BBC: “The reason why I say this is a bigger problem is because in terms of the overall impact on mankind, if we don’t stop, it will have a greater and greater impact on our way of life and life. challenge.
“If green choices become easy, more people will be willing to change their behavior.”
Sir Valence, who is also the chief scientific adviser of the project A sort of The climate summit helped lead the UK’s response to Covid-19 during the pandemic.
The chief scientific adviser has previously expressed support for behavior changes, including reducing meat consumption and flying.
Sir Patrick said that it is still possible to control the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, but only if global emissions are significantly reduced by 2030 and reduced to zero by 2050 as a whole.
He said that the message to world leaders is that “1.5C is achievable, and this is definitely a goal we should pursue”, but now we need to take action.
He said that this decade is a decade of innovation and research and development, and it must be applied on a large scale now, otherwise the world will not reach the 1.5C goal.
“This will require detailed planning, technology, behavior changes, and monitoring to achieve this goal, including monitoring emissions.”
Regarding behavioral changes, Sir Patrick said: “The level of meat we have seen in the past will change. I think we all need to consider our flying habits.”
Tuesday is Gender and Science and Innovation Day COP26.
This day looks at how women, girls, and marginalized people are disproportionately affected by climate change—and how they can be part of the solution to stop climate change.
US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi told delegates in a panel meeting with Scotland’s Chief Minister Nicholas Sturgeon that most people displaced by climate change are women.
She said: “80% of the people displaced by climate change in the world are women.
“Addressing a rapidly changing climate is a matter of justice and equality with the most vulnerable and most affected groups (including indigenous communities, underdeveloped countries, and the women we care about today and every day).
“For this, we have just announced the most ambitious and important climate and clean energy legislation in our country’s history.”
She continued: “This is a nearly trillion-dollar investment in’rebuild better.’ The bipartisan infrastructure framework recognizes the interlinkages between climate change and gender justice, and enables women and girls to lead the way toward clean energy in the future. A just transition of the economy.”
Ms. Pelosi emphasized the women participating in the delegation so that “you know that women have a place at the negotiating table” when making climate decisions.
She also said that one of the things she will do to change the world is to “invest in the education of girls and women and enhance their power”, which won enthusiastic applause from the audience.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives concluded her keynote speech by thanking world leaders for “recognizing women’s centrality in the climate struggle” and said: “When women succeed, the world succeeds.”
