Noting the IPCC Synthesis Report (AR6) approved on 20th March 2023 concluded that: 

• Global surface temperatures in the decade 2011-20 had reached 1.1 degrees C above the base level of 1850-1900 and that the cause was human activity.  
• Climate damage is hitting harder and sooner than expected and the global temperature will continue rising until CO2 emissions reach net zero.  
• Both more ambitious and more urgent action is necessary to secure a sustainable and liveable future for all.  
• Vulnerable communities that have historically contributed least to climate change are disproportionately affected. 
• Current Nationally Determined Contributions are insufficient to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C this century.  

Believes that: 

• Climate action that prioritises equity, climate justice, social justice and inclusion  will engender popular support across all countries leading to more sustainable outcomes. 
• Climate action that supports transformative change towards is necessary to foster climate resilient development in particular in developing countries.  

Calls on: 

• All UN member states to speed and scale on peaking their GHG emissions no later than 2025, without sacrificing a social justice perspective.  
• Developed and middle-income countries to invest in effective climate action technologies and their transfer to the developing world.
