Living near the Caribbean coastline poses 'existential threat,' warns climate campaigners by LeahMahon_
The Caribbean Climate Justice Alliance said that COP27 needed to bring"urgent action" against rising sea levelsA CLIMATE justice group has urged for action against the climate crisis in the Caribbean as people living on the coastlines are on track to be worst affected by soaring temperatures.
The group said that they hoped world leaders would take “urgent action” to limit global temperatures to reduce the risk to “vulnerable countries” in the global south that are prone to rising sea levels, torrential rainfall and coral bleaching. “All countries, and especially the G20 that account for around 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions, must show resolve and step up their actions starting now if we want to keep the 1.5˚C goal within reach.”
The climate group is calling for the curbing of temperature rises and the scaling up of locally-led and ecosystem-based solutions for adaptation and resilience amid the crisis.
