Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva speaking during the last session of the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil has urged leaders of the Group of 20 major economies to accelerate their national climate targets. Lula is now pledging to the world leaders to strive to reach net zero climate emissions five to 10 years ahead of schedule. Lula suggests that climate neutrality targets should be reached by 2040 or 2045 rather than 2050 as Brazil and most nations had targeted earlier.



"We have to do more and better," Lula said, noting that this is likely the world's warmest year on record as climate disasters such as flooding and droughts become more frequent and intense. "There is no time to lose," he added.
World leaders are trying to shore up a global response to climate change before Donald Trump retakes the U.S. presidency in January, when he plans to roll back U.S. policy on global warming and reportedly exit the landmark Paris Agreement.

G20 nations as the world's largest economies have an impact on climate warming emissions and are responsible to fix climate issues.

The G20 leaders called in a joint statement on Monday for "rapidly and substantially increasing climate finance from billions to trillions from all sources" to confront global warming.

They also urged COP29 negotiators to reach a deal on a new financial goal for how much money rich nations must provide to poorer developing nations in climate finance, the main sticking point in the climate talks.

In conclusion, we now look forward to G20 leaders to heed the call from the Brazil president and commit to reduce emissions by 2045. To the leaders in Azerbaijan for COP 29 , a lasting solution on a fair climate finance system should also be agreed.
