World running out of time to tackle climate crisis: UN

Time is fast running out to tackle the climate crisis, the Union Nations said.

2021 must be the year of action for protecting people against the "disastrous" effects of climate change, the United Nations said on Monday ahead of a crucial US-convened summit. Time is fast running out to tackle the climate crisis, the UN warned, with the Covid-19 pandemic having failed to put the brakes on "relentless" climate change. The call comes alongside a major report ahead of US President Joe Biden's climate summit beginning Thursday.
