The United Nations warned that some efforts to address climate change, including carbon offsets and cloud-altering experiments, could potentially lead to financial corruption and destabilized weather patterns if not well-managed.
The report highlights areas like geoengineering experiments and the use of carbon offsets that could create more problems than solutions in addressing rising temperatures, with these shifts increasingly colliding and creating major environmental consequences.
The triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste is contributing to human crises like conflict, displacement, and deteriorating health, significantly impacting global events such as the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's war in Ukraine.
This report is part of the U.N. 2.0 initiative aiming to modernize the organization to better support development goals centered around climate, health, and education, identifying important interlinkages between these areas of focus.
