The Spin

The unprecedented temperature rise represents a human rights crisis, causing thousands of deaths, displacement, and loss of livelihoods through extreme weather events, making immediate action crucial for human survival.

The climate crisis has reached unprecedented levels with greenhouse gases accumulating faster than at any time in human history. Current emission levels guarantee catastrophic consequences for every nation's economy and billions of lives. Immediate and drastic action is required to prevent irreversible damage to Earth's climate systems.

Economic development and climate action must be balanced, with developing nations requiring financial support to meet climate goals. The NDC process serves as a negotiating mechanism to secure necessary funding, with countries seeking to ensure their climate pledges are investable and can attract both public and private finance.
