shejoins me now from costa rica. welcome to you. thank you for talking to us. some very worrying founding is from the un today, what is your reaction? is your reaction? sadly, this is no surrise. is your reaction? sadly, this is no surprise. first is your reaction? sadly, this is no surprise. first of is your reaction? sadly, this is no surprise. first of all, is your reaction? sadly, this is no surprise. first of all, these - surprise. first of all, these reports, and they wail the many of them, they always come outjust before the cup which is starting a few days in egypt and this is the time of the year when all of these assessment reports come out. now, it is no surprise that we are behind schedule. that is not a surprise. it is tragic but it is not a surprise. the good news that is in these reports is that when we left paris in 2015, the collective effort of all countries would have taken us to 2.7 degrees of warming. today, we know that we are down to 2.5. better but not eno
say they re currently defining as being in the protest stage, and they tell us that the iranian army and revolutionary guard are still loyal to the government, but they are assessing the language used all the time. countries are failing to live up to their commitments to fight climate change. that s the key takeaway from a new un report released today. its secretary general antonio guterres has this warning. if we are not able to reverse the present trend that is leading to catastrophe in the world, we will be doomed. and so, this must be for all of us an absolute priority. let s get some context. this is what countries had pledged to deliver. in 2015, nearly 200 countries came together for the paris agreement a landmark, legally binding international treaty on climate change. this included a pledge to limit the global temperature

had pledged to deliver. in 2015, nearly 200 countries came together for the paris agreement a landmark, legally binding international treaty on climate change. this included a pledge to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 celsius above pre industrial levels. to achieve this, countries said they d set up targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions. that was then reaffirmed last year at the cop26 summit in scotland, where all countries agreed to revisit and strengthen their climate action plans. but even then, there was caution. this was cop 26 president alok sharma at the end of that summit. we can say with credibility that we have kept 1.5 degrees within reach, but its pulse is weak. so those were the promises. the actions tell a different story. according to the un report,
