But during that year, climate change did not take time off...And we know that the window to keep 1.5 degrees within reach is closing.""We know that our shared planet is changing for the worse. And we can only address that together, through this international system...And if we act now, and we act together, we can protect our precious planet," Sputnik quoting him added.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
