Countries most vulnerable to climate change call for 'emergency pact' ahead of the 26th conference of the parties between nations, After more than 1,500 climate non-government organisations call for the summit to be postponed over COVID-19 concerns.
The Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF), which consists of countries in Asia, Africa, the Pacific, Caribbean, and Latin America, said progress on limiting the impacts of global warming has stalled.
It wants all countries to agree to a ‘climate emergency pact’ at the upcoming summit in Glasgow to protect those most vulnerable. The pact would involve every country putting forward a new climate plan every year between now and 2025.
