UNITED NATIONS air max 97 rosse , Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- A new climate agreement in Paris can encourage further action to limit the rise of global temperature by two degrees by the end of this century, a UN spokesman told reporters here Friday, quoting a new report by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
The report came as current policies and strong engagement by countries which have submitted their contributions ahead of the Paris climate meeting will limit greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2030, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a daily news briefing here.
"This report is an authoritative assessment undertaken by leading scientists and experts from around the world," Dujarric said.
The UN Climate Change Conference (COP 21) will take place in Paris from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11. The world's governments are expected to finalise a binding climate change agreement at this year's conference.
The UNEP executive director Achim Steiner said that the current intended nationally determined contributions, or INDCs air max 97 baffo blu , combined with policies over the last few years, present a real increase in ambition levels and demonstrate an unprecedented commitment and engagement by member states in tackling this major global challenge.
In order to close the gap, he said that it is essential that the Paris Agreement adopt a dynamic approach in which ambitions, the mobilization of climate finance and other forms of cooperation can be adjusted upwards at regular intervals.
On Friday morning, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon discussed climate change in a video conference call with the presidents of France, Peru and Turkey nike air max 97 silver offerta , as well as with the chancellor of Germany and the prime minister of Malta, Dujarric said.
Ban "received an update from President (Francois) Hollande of France on preparations for the Paris climate change conference," the spokesman said. "That update was part of a series of consultations that the secretary-general has been holding with world leaders on expectations for the Paris conference and to follow up on the leaders' meeting he convened on the 27 September on the sidelines of the (UN) General Assembly, and these focus on how to achieve a successful outcome at the COP meeting in Paris."
The secretary-general is also expected to speak with South African President Jacob Zuma in the next day or so, the spokesman said, adding that he had been scheduled to take part in a video conference but there was a scheduling challenge.
Also on Friday air max 97 silver uomo , the Green Climate Fund (GCF) announced that its Board has approved its first investments for projects in eight countries: three projects in Africa, three in Asia-Pacific region, and two in Latin America, he said.
"The secretary-general has been calling on governments to contribute to the Fund to enhance trust among the Parties who have been working together for the last two years to craft a new climate change agreement," he added.
