António Guterres Instagram – This week the world has experienced the three hottest days on record.
But let’s face facts: extreme temperatures are no longer a one day, one week or one month phenomenon.
Earth is becoming hotter and more dangerous for everyone, everywhere.
Billions of people are facing an extreme heat epidemic.
Heat is estimated to kill almost half a million people a year.
We know what is driving it: fossil fuel-charged, human-induced climate change.
Extreme heat is the new abnormal. But the good news is we can save lives and limit its impact.
Today we launched a global call to action focused on on:
🔸Caring for the most vulnerable.
🔸Stepping up protections for workers.
🔸Boosting resilience.
🔸Limiting temperature rise and phasing out fossil fuels. | Posted on 26/Jul/2024 00:56:02
