Topic: facing climate change in the international communication

Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than in the last 650,000 years.

And since 1997, the United Nations has seen a rise in the adverse effect on international biodiversity resulting from global warming and climate change.As a result, the koala bear which is one of Australia’s national animals has become one of the top ten of animals in danger in the world. Consistent with global trends, Australia has warmed similar to0.8degreesC over the last century with minimum temperatures warming faster thanmaxima. Sea level rises in Australia havebeen regionally variable, and considerably less than the global average. Snow cover and duration have declined significantly at some sites in the Snowy Mountains.

The UN helps bring about environmental treaties which, for example, helped to cut oil pollution from ships by 60 per cent during the 1980s; to curb cross-border pollution in North America and Europe; and to stop production in both industrialized and developing countries of many of the gases that destroy the ozone layer. Since the first UN conference on the environment in 1972, UN agencies and programmes have helped broker more than 300 international treaties and agreements relating to endangered species, marine pollution, ozone depletion, hazardous waste, biological diversity, climate change, desertification, fisheries, and industrial chemicals and pesticides.

The Australian Government has set ambitious targets to reduce Australia’s carbon pollution emissions. The goal for Australia is to reduce carbon emissions to 25 per cent below 2000 levels by 2020, if there is a fair contribution from all emitters around the world to take strong action to reduce the risk of dangerous climate change by restraining atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases to 450 parts per million. That’s reducing the average emissions of every Australian by almost a half over the next ten years.

We need a more or less new green deal for the environment, because of the ever-changing environment and standard. Australia now appeals to all member nations to set up protect the environment. All in all, Australia is concerned that the cooperation of the countries in the United Nations, which contributes to empower the effective solutions to solve the global problem
