That's a sort of entry ticket to the climate conference countries responsible for 70% of total global emissions are waving it.īut Israel has no plan for reaching this target, which has not been approved by the government, and reading the declaration invites a close and gloomy look at the small print. Just before he flew off, Bennett paid his 'Glasgow tax' and declared, perhaps with no choice, that Israel would reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. What about Israel? Prime Minister Naftali Bennett flew to the UN conference with no achievements to show, and no new tidings. Unless the world's leaders succeed in cutting greenhouse gas emissions by half in the current decade, on the way to absolute zero, many more will pay with their lives, and extreme climate events will become the new norm, in a world in which nothing will any longer be normal. The climate crisis is already leaving its mark on economies and people's lives. To limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees, the target recommended by expert reports and agreed by the G20 group of countries before the Glasgow conference, the world's nations have to set very ambitious goals for the current decade, and not look with a vacant gaze to 2050, abdicating responsibility. At present, it looks as though the leaders are mainly trying to kick the can down the road, to the coming decades, to the coming generations, instead of fighting this decade.
