Let me just begin by saying to everybody that it’s now indisputable that the climate crisis is one of the top security threats, not just to the developed world but to the entire planet, to life on the planet itself. And it is a crisis that already today costs countries billions of dollars each year, which we spend not even to prevent at this point, but just to clean up the mess. And most importantly, it costs the world millions of lives. It’s an active threat against the livelihoods and the peace of people everywhere on this planet.

We can see the impacts with our own eyes. Observations are coming in more rapidly and larger amounts than scientists predicted. The situation is escalating faster than expected. There is very little security against the severe consequences of extreme temperatures. Millions of people actually die every year now from extreme heat.

We see the impacts of the spread of disease. Insects live longer and now attack trees and forests in greater numbers. This affects countries that depend on these resources. We are also witnessing the loss of food and the chaos of mass migration. The current situation is only a fraction of what is predicted if global bio-destruction continues. I don’t think there’s one country that now lives sustainably. And not necessarily because of their choice, but because certain processes are forced on them, just by virtue of the global economy.

There’s no finding peace for the 7 million people a year who die around the world from the impact of greenhouse gas pollution. Pollution. We failed to call it pollution as frequently as we should, I think because that’s what it is. And without action, the climate crisis destruction, costs will go up, and the spread of its impacts will grow. It is fair to say that that the world we experienced last year will be a better world than the one we’re going to experience this year or for the foreseeable future, unless we do a better job of attacking the crisis itself. And the cost will rival the cost of many wars, even those being fought today.

Last year – we heard from the Minister of Mozambique – double cyclones hit Mozambique to Vanuatu. The United States, we saw death and destruction in the wake of those intensive cyclones. Not cyclones. In our case, it was tornadoes. In the U.S. alone, three storms several years ago were responsible for about $265 billion worth of damage. Yet we don’t find the $100 billion. This year we will find the $100 billion. This year we will have the $100 billion. But think how long it’s taken since Paris. And we obviously had a president who regrettably pulled out of the agreement and set us back for those four years without any money in the budget.

Today, the Horn of Africa is experiencing the worst droughts on record, driving crop failures and food shortages that make keeping peace difficult, as we heard from the Under-Secretary-General. And last October, UN Peacekeepers in South Sudan were dealt some of the worst floods the area ever experienced, worsening an already terrible period of conflict.
