[ANALYSIS] World running out of time to tackle climate crisis: UN

Droughts like the one that has parched land and lake beds in Colombia since 2012 have worsened in recent decades due to climate change.NEW YORK - 2021 must be the year of action for protecting people against the"disastrous" effects of climate change, the United Nations said on Monday ahead of a crucial US-convened summit.

"We are on the verge of the abyss," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told a press conference as he unveiled the State of the Global Climate 2020 report by the UN's World Meteorological Organization . "This is the year for action. Countries need to commit to net zero emissions by 2050," the UN chief said."They need to act now to protect people against the disastrous effects of climate change."The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change calls for capping global warming at well below two degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level, while countries will pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 C.

The WMO's 56-page annual report documents indicators of the climate system, including increasing land and ocean temperatures, sea level rise, melting ice and extreme weather. Statistics showed that 2020 was one of the three warmest years on record. The past six years, including 2020, have been the six warmest on record.
