Science now tells us that a temporary overshoot beyond the 1.5 limit – starting at the latest in the early 2030s – is inevitable...If we act now, we can make the overshoot as small, as short, and as safe as possible – and bring temperatures back below 1.5°C before century’s end [by] peaking global emissions immediately; by reaching global net zero by 2050, and by drastically increasing investments in adaptation and resilience.... We can choose to lead – or be led to ruin. Choose to make Belém the turning point.

Mr. President, Excellencies,

Thank you for convening the Council on this essential topic.

Our collective security demands that we seize every moment to forge a common understanding of the threats and challenges before us.

And most importantly, to shape united responses to them.

As the focus of this briefing makes clear, the path to peace is forged by dialogue and cooperation.
