Letter Published in The National UAE on 10 Oct 18,World leaders must act now on climate change

I write in reference to your article UN climate report warning: act now, it’s a life or death situation (October 9): The National’s elaborate article on recent ominous climate change warnings given by the UN was an interesting and meaningful read.

The coming years will be tough as climate chaos starts to take hold at a global level. It is an alarming warning from Debra Roberts, head of the Environmental Planning and Protection Department in Durban, South Africa.

It behoves global leaders to rethink this incredibly important issue and take urgent co-ordinated steps to protect the climate and prevent potential disasters. Will change really happen if some leaders, such as US President Donald Trump, are not willing to participate in the fight against climate change? I fear not.
