which the united nations has described as a survival guide for humanity . climate experts say there is a closing window of opportunity to build a sustainable future, but say that will involve rapid cuts to fossil fuels, and maximising the use of clean energy and technology. here s our climate editorjustin rowlatt. as many as 43,000 people are estimated to have died in a drought in somalia, a new report said today. in malawi last week, dogs were used to sniff out bodies. more than 250 people were killed when one of the strongest cyclones ever recorded ripped through the country. weather extremes like these are likely to intensify as the world continues to warm, un scientists warned today. their report was published at a conference in the swiss town of interla ken. the document released
as the world continues to warm, un scientists warned today. their report was published at a conference in the swiss town of interla ken. the document released here today draws together eight years of work and it will be crucial the basis for future global negotiations on climate for probably the next decade. and the key message, says the un chief, is that all is not quite yet lost. this report is a clarion call to massively fast track climate efforts by every country and every sector and on every time frame. in short, our world needs climate action on all fronts everything, everywhere, all at once. the glaciers in the mountains above where the scientists are meeting lost 6% of their volume last year alone evidence of the impact climate change is already having. at this weather station
