According to the UN climate chief, Patricia Espinosa, the crisis in the crown could affect the efforts of the international community to combat climate change. “I am afraid that some countries will reduce their efforts. Unfortunately, that is foreseeable,” the Secretary-General of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change told the German news magazine “Spiegel.”

UN climate chief Espinosa fears relapse in many countries
Espinosa called on countries not to do so, but to expand efforts as agreed. “Corona shows how much a global crisis as a global community can affect us. But we also have an idea of what climate change could destroy as a global crisis in the coming decades. That should shake us up.”
Due to the pandemic, the UN climate conference scheduled for November in Glasgow, Scotland has already been postponed. A new date for 2021 should be named later. Espinosa called the change inevitable, but warned the world community not to lose sight of the threat to the Earth’s climate. In the long run, global warming is “the greatest threat to humanity”.
