Abu Dhabi – 30 June 2019
1. Various of delegates on stage at Abu Dhabi Climate Meeting
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General:
"We are here because the world is facing a grave climate emergency. Climate disruption is happening now, and it is happening to all of us. It is progressing even faster than the world's top scientists have predicted. And it is outpacing our efforts to address it. Climate change is running faster than what we are."
3. Delegates on stage
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General:
"It is plain to me that we have no time to lose. And sadly, it is not yet plain to all the decision-makers that run our world. On the plus side, we have the Paris Agreement on climate change and a work programme agreed last year in Katowice. But we know that even if the promises of Paris are fully met, we still face at least a 3-degree (Celsius) temperature rise by the end of the century – a catastrophe for life as we know it."

5. Various of UN envoy Luis Alfonso de Alba speaking
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Luis Alfonso de Alba, UN Secretary General Special Envoy for 2019 Climate Summit:
"I think it is very important to have all countries committing to this cause, this is even more when we are talking about the country of the importance and the size – not only in terms of the economy but also the emissions – of the United States. It is quite disappointing to lose the US."

7. Wide of stage at Abu Dhabi Climate Meeting
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General:
"Solutions exist. First, let's shift taxes from salaries to carbon. We should tax pollution, not people. Second, stop subsidising fossil fuels. Taxpayers' money should not be used to boost hurricanes, spread drought and heat waves, and melt glaciers. Third, stop building new coal plants by 2020."
9. Audience clapping
STORYLINE:
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres took his global message urging immediate climate action to officials gathered in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, where production of hydrocarbons remains a key driver of the economy.
Guterres is calling on governments to stop building new coal plants by 2020, cut greenhouse emissions by 45% over the next decade and replace fossil-fuel driven economies with new technologies like solar and wind.
The world, he said, "is facing a grave climate emergency".
In remarks made at a summit in Abu Dhabi, he painted a grim picture of how rapidly climate change is advancing, saying it is outpacing efforts to address it.
He lauded the Paris climate accord, but said even if promises of that agreement are fully met by countries, the world still faces what he described as a catastrophic three degree temperature rise by the end of the century.
Arctic permafrost is melting decades earlier than even worst-case scenarios, he said, threatening to unlock vast amounts of methane greenhouse gas.
He spoke at the opulent Emirates Palace, where Abu Dhabi was hosting a preparatory meeting for the U.N. Climate Action Summit in September.
Guterres was expected to later take a helicopter ride to view Abu Dhabi's Noor solar power plant.
Organisers and UN representatives said the lavish Abu Dhabi summit and his planned helicopter ride would be carbon neutral, meaning they would have a net zero carbon footprint through efforts like planting trees to offset or sequester the emissions made during the event.
The United Nations says carbon dioxide emissions account for around 80% of global warming.
Guterres was in Abu Dhabi fresh off meetings with The Group of 20 leaders in Osaka, Japan.
There, he appealed directly to heads of state of the world's main emitters to step up their efforts.
The countries of the G20 represent 80% of the world emissions of greenhouse gases, he said.
At the G20 meeting, 19 countries expressed their commitment to the Paris Agreement, with only the United States dissenting.
In 2017, President Donald Trump pledged to withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement as soon as 2020, arguing it disadvantages American workers and taxpayers.
Trump has also moved steadily to dismantle Obama administration efforts to rein in coal, oil and gas emissions.
His position has been that these efforts have hurt the US economy.
The secretary-general's special envoy for the climate summit, Ambassador Luis Alfonso de Alba, told the Associated Press it was disappointing that the U.S. has pulled out from the accord.
However, he said there are many examples of efforts at the local and state level in the United States to combat climate change.
Guterres is urging business leaders and politicians to come to the Climate Action Summit in September with their plans on how to cut greenhouse emissions by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2050.
He suggested solutions like taxing major carbon emitting industries and polluters, ending the subsidisation of oil and gas and halting the building of all new coal plants by next year.
