The 2019 A Global Assessment Report has been completed with a harder time and worse disasters in the history of mankind.

The prediction of the future is based on the report, and is largely due to haphazard and speculative development and hostile handling of the environment.

It cited the 2.5 to 3 degrees global warming above pre-industrial level; a practice that has gone on with complete disregard to the consequences.

The warning is sounded by the head of Global Risk Analysis and Reporting by Marc Gordon at the 2019 Global Platform.

In the context of an ever-changing environment which shows a worrying trend including the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC), a special report of 1 ° warming, and concerns over biodiversity loss, it is now clear to Marc Gordon, that " time is running out and that is not a change in reality.

That reality points to the future of the future, clearly, that can not be relied upon. That line of cautioning dominated discussions at the 2019 Global Platform.

Speaking on Disaster Risk Reduction to journalists at the 2019 Global Platform at the International Conference Center in Geneva Switzerland, Mr. Gordon appealing to member states to work towards "understanding the complexities of the world in which we live, it requires us to review our approach how it is created, how it is propagated, and how it is prevented.

The 2019 Global Platform is the first meeting of the 2015 Sandai Framework, a 15-year, voluntary, non-binding agreement which the State has the primary role to play in the management of the private sector. sector and other stakeholders.

Unlike the Hyogo framework for action, the Sandai Framework is specifically linked to the 2030 agenda of 'transforming our world sustainable development' which recognizes the essential essentials for the world to be able to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Unit Head of Global Risk Analysis and Reporting Support and Monitoring Sandai Framework Implementation Branch, "We are confronted with the challenges of a pluralistic nature."

He urged the world to examine ways to collaborate and be more informed in the dynamic interaction to mitigate the challenge.

"Transdisciplinary across sectors across geographies and scales … so we can determine an interdependent solution in a more collective fashion," he urged.

With the multilateral approach to global development and global policy facing significant challenges, Mr Gordon also called on governments to make good use of their intelligence at the national level.

He also urged them to collaborate at the regional and continental levels, to "understand the systemic nature of interaction with each other."

According to him, "that is the way we can stave off the kind of potential consequences that are being presented by some of the more bleak scenarios … if we move beyond the 1.5% degree warming to a two-degree world which is quite frankly, we do not know how it will look like. "

The bleak scenario will have consequences and will have consequences for food production and food security, with the potential of triggering unemployment among farmers, he said.

It will also not separate basic life-supporting systems; a life-threatening scenario that requires an urgent fix to save the world.

It will require a shift from being effective in the field of education and training, and to ensure that they are more effective and more efficient and effective.

There should also be conciliation of stakeholders governments, engineers, private developers and rural farmers on the consequences of their actions and the decisions they make today.
