In his only interview before next month’s Cop30 climate summit, António Guterres acknowledged it is now “inevitable” that humanity will overshoot the target in the Paris climate agreement, with “devastating consequences” for the world.

He urged the leaders who will gather in the Brazilian rainforest city of Belém to realise that the longer they delay cutting emissions, the greater the danger of passing catastrophic “tipping points” in the Amazon, the Arctic and the oceans.

“Let’s recognise our failure,” he told the Guardian and Amazon-based news organisation Sumaúma. “The truth is that we have failed to avoid an overshooting above 1.5C in the next few years. And that going above 1.5C has devastating consequences. Some of these devastating consequences are tipping points, be it in the Amazon, be it in Greenland, or western Antarctica or the coral reefs.

“El calor horrendo está teniendo horrendos efectos”, ha recordado Guterres, en referencia a los “agricultores angustiados” que ven cómo sus cultivos se los llevan las inundaciones, las enfermedades vinculadas a las altas temperaturas y los “incendios históricos”. “La acción climática se ve empequeñecida por la magnitud del desafío”, ha alertado el máximo responsable de la ONU.
