World leaders convened at the UN Climate Conference in Azerbaijan to address the escalating climate crisis, which poses an existential threat to humanity. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned of severe economic consequences from inaction, noting that climate-related disasters have caused approximately $2 trillion in damages over the past decade, affecting 1.6 billion people.

Current funding approaches must be reassessed, as the required budget has surged to $1 trillion, far exceeding existing financial commitments.
