NAIROBI, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- The global community must adopt radical measures to curb the emission of greenhouse gases and avert climatic shocks whose devastations could take years to repair, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) said in a report released Monday in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.
Launched ahead of the UN Climate Summit slated for Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12, the report warns that temperature rise could intensify this decade, given the sluggish progress nations are making in cutting down carbon emissions as stipulated in the Paris Agreement of 2015.
