[font size=3]Marrakech: The Climate Vulnerable Forum -- a group comprising over 40 countries -- on Friday agreed to meet 100 per cent domestic renewable energy production as rapidly as possible and pledged to take actions to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
At the high-level meeting on the UN Climate Change Conference at Marrakech (UNFCCC-COP22), they agreed that climate action does not limit development, but strengthens it as they resolved to meet 100 per cent domestic renewable energy production latest between 2030 and 2050.
A communique, adopted by the countries, called for greater ambition emphasising that any country with nationally determined contributions not yet compliant with its fair share consistent with the Paris Agreement's long-term goal must update contributions by 2020 at the latest.
