According to a study published by the UN, it is estimated that the increase in global temperature could reach 2.8ºC in the coming years. This number will compromise several ecosystems and could threaten the lives of billions of people around the world.
However, international consensuses are still in real debate, especially with regard to political and economic issues related to the fossil fuel industry. Oil, for example, is the fossil fuel with the greatest commercial application.
The only effort to promote change is the use of low-carbon energy. Thus, some countries that have natural gas available will use it as a source of energy.
Although some agreements were made last year to reduce the use of fossil fuels, India, for example, failed to put the plans into practice, as the oil exporting nations managed to articulate so that such reduction measures were not approved for 2022.
Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner, Climate Ambassador for the Marshall Islands, cited that she is still hopeful that this reduction will be put into effect. Martin Kaiser, director of Greenpeace Germany, said that the richest countries have prevented measures are adopted because, for them, this risks carelessly adhering to the limit of 1.5 degrees.
