The internationally agreed threshold of 1.5°C global warming is perilously close. We must accelerate the decarbonization of the entire transport sector in order to get to net-zero emissions by 2050. We must act together, smartly, and quickly. news.un.org/en/story/2021/…

@antonioguterres @UNEP To power our electric vehicles we need more green electricity. All new houses should be able to generate and store electricity. All governments need to act now to ensure this happens.
@antonioguterres Has the UN produced a country by country analysis of decarbonisation of transport? Would aid transparency...
@antonioguterres We wrote a plan that exceeds the IPCC recommendations, costs taxpayers nothing and does it all in just 7 years, sent it in. Got nothing but crickets @POTUS @VP @SecDebHaaland @SecretaryPete @SenJeffMerkley @SenSanders @AOC @SenWarren DefendOurParks.org/the-plan
@antonioguterres @UN Smartness starts with SMART objective, your excellence. Is your statement realistic enough or is it one of those your usual wish lists?
@antonioguterres @ProfStrachan We should be aiming for 2030, not 2050.
@antonioguterres Exceeding 1.5 is already backed in. Preventing even greater increase is the new goal.
