NITED NATIONS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 01st November, 2021) French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday called on the world's largest greenhouse emitters to scale up their efforts over the next two weeks of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow to reach the target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
"The largest emitters, whose national strategies do not match our strategy of 1.5 (Celsius degrees) increase, must scale up in the next two weeks," Macron said in his remarks at the climate summit.
The French president also said the international community must act in unity to keep the average climate warming rise to the 1.5 Celsius degrees target.
