"King Charles Urges $5 Trillion Annual Investment to Avert Climate Catastrophe at COP28"

King Charles III of Britain called for annual payments of $5 trillion to prevent a climate catastrophe during his speech at the COP 28 summit in Dubai. He emphasized the need for collaboration between public, private, philanthropic, and NGO sectors to drive climate action. Charles did not provide a breakdown of who should pay or where the funds would go, but suggested they should support sustainable projects. The U.S. pledged an additional $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund, while also committing to phasing out coal plants. Charles urged increased investment in renewable energy and expressed concern about the lack of progress in addressing climate change.

Hottest 12 Months in 125,000 Years: Earth's Record-Breaking Heat

The Earth has just experienced its hottest 12 months on record, with average planetary temperatures surpassing preindustrial norms by 1.3 to 1.4 degrees Celsius. This surge in warming, largely caused by human-induced climate change, has made extreme heat events at least three times more likely than before the Industrial Revolution. The analysis by Climate Central highlights the urgency for immediate action to phase out fossil fuels and mitigate the irreversible damage to ecosystems. The findings coincide with the upcoming United Nations climate change conference, COP 28, and serve as a stark reminder of the need to address the climate crisis.
