United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized the vital importance of adapting to the impacts of the climate crisis, calling for the expansion of early warning systems and the protection of communities against climate-related disasters.

In a statement posted on social media, Guterres stressed that as temperatures rise, adapting to climate change has become a matter of survival.

Stating that everyone in the world must be covered by early warning systems, Guterres said, "Every community must be protected from floods, droughts and rising sea levels."

He also noted that when the limits of adaptation to climate change are reached, support for addressing loss and damage must be rapid and accessible.
