The UN Secretary-General stated that global efforts must address the root causes of sea-level rise, primarily through capping greenhouse gas emissions. He called for that global emissions must peak immediately, with a 60 percent fall required by 2035. The Secretary-General stressed that the G20 must lead, and COP31 in Türkiye must deliver on these issues.

The UN warned that sea-level rise acts as a threat multiplier, impacting economies, trade, infrastructure, and food systems. Without significant adaptation and mitigation, the risks facing coastal cities and communities could increase tenfold by 2100. The call emphasizes the need for resilience to be embedded in national adaptation plans and development budgets.
