NADI, Fiji/SYDNEY, Oct 7 (Reuters) – Countries must urgently scale up their commitments to keep temperature rises within 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) to limit the impacts of extreme weather, a statement from a conference leading up to the UN’s COP31 summit said.
The ministerial meeting, being held in Fiji and Tuvalu, said on Tuesday that “deep, rapid and sustained emissions reductions are required to minimise the magnitude and duration of overshoot” of the target.
