The title of his lecture was called “Two Years to Save the World.” Stiell explained “why the next two years are so essential in saving our planet,” and “how there’s no room for half measures.”
One of the things that need to be increased immediately is “a quantum leap in climate finance this year,” Stiell contends. Stiell says, “As of today, national climate plans – called Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs – in aggregate will barely cut emissions at all by 2030.”
Stiell went on to imply that thing defeating climate change outweighs trying to cure pandemics, or ending poverty and hunger, and even suggested that increasing “gender equality” can help in curbing climate change. He stated:
Let’s consider for a moment what is up for grabs if we do make the next two years really count. Bold new national climate plans will be a jobs jackpot and economic springboard to boost countries up that global ladder of living standards.
In the face of crop-destroying droughts, much bolder climate action to curb emissions and help farmers adapt will increase food security, and lessen hunger. Cutting fossil fuel pollution will mean better health and huge savings for governments and households alike. The transformative potential of bold climate action – in tandem with steps to advance gender equality – is one of the fastest ways to move away from business as usual.
For those who say that climate change is only one of many priorities, like ending poverty, ending hunger, ending pandemics, or improving education, I simply say this: none of these crucial tasks – indeed none of the Sustainable Development Goals – will be possible unless we get the climate crisis under control.
In fact, business-as-usual will further entrench the gross inequalities between the world’s richest and poorest countries and communities that unchecked climate impacts are making much worse. These inequalities are kryptonite for cooperative global climate action, and every economy, every country and its people pays the price of that.
To start curing this global cancer of inequality, we need to enable bold new national climate plans by all nations that protect people, boost jobs and drive inclusive economic growth. And we need them by early next year. The next generation of national climate plans must be investment plans for sustainable and strong economies.

The UN head went on to warn that if people think inflation is bad now, then if new climate financing is not raised then it will snowball even more.
We have just seen what supply chain disruptions flowing from covid did to inflation, and to households and businesses. Well, you can bet your bottom dollar these disruptions and inflationary impacts will only get dramatically worse, without bolder climate action.
So the financial firepower the G20 marshaled during the global financial crisis should be marshaled again and pointed squarely at curbing runaway emissions and building resilience now.
He said
He went on to again emphasis the imperative on getting this new financing, and how the people of the world must act, along with inferring to possible carbon taxes.
Ultimately, it’s not enough to invest in clean energy and resilient infrastructure without measures that also speed up the decline of fossil fuels. Stronger domestic progress on carbon pricing is essential to reflect the real economics of fossil fuels, including the massive health and economic costs of greenhouse gas pollution, which should not be shunted on to government, households, and other industries to pay.
When I say we have two years to save the world, it begs the question – who exactly has two years to save the world? The answer is every person on this planet.
Earlier this year at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, an esteemed panel indicated that the carbon taxes are needed very soon, and that the framework to implement them is ready to go but needs to be put into action soon.
Stiell also referenced COP29 and COP30 as key events to secure more funding and reaffirm the international goals to fight climate change. However, the last climate forum, COP28, did not get enough to a great start where the President of the meeting admitted in a meeting that there is “no science” behind the rapid fossil fuel phaseout agenda.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Translation: ‘we are going to utterly turn the world upside within these next two years to achieve our goals of fighting climate change: for you are the carbon we wish to reduce.’
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
Proverbs 6:12
What in the world does “gender equality” have to do with the climate and environment? These people are absolutely insane. But I suppose that depends on how we are defining “climate change.” One of the definitions of ‘climate’ according to Dictionary.com says, “the prevailing attitudes, standards, or environmental conditions of a group, period, or place: a climate of political unrest.” Maybe that’s the “climate” they are referring to…
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
