Extreme weather events observed around the world are just a sign of what lies ahead, the UN's top climate official has warned. All these climate disasters, from droughts to fires to floods, remind us that action is urgently needed, said Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). , during an exclusive interview with Anadolu, in the capital of Kenya, Nairobi. "What we're seeing is an acceleration of the impacts and effects of climate change, an absolutely amazing phenomenon, we've seen recent records being continually broken, and that's just a sign of what's to come," he said. Stiell, who was in Nairobi for the first African climate summit, cited examples of extreme weather events, including the current drought in East Africa, which is particularly affecting Kenya, where the summit was held. This drought, the worst the region has experienced in at least 40 years, has driven millions from their homes and pushed others to the brink of starvation. (Andrew Wasike)
