"I don't envy you the responsibility," he went on "that this places on all of you and your governments."
David Attenborough is of course best known as the narrator of BBC wildlife documentaries like Planet Earth, but in recent years he has been dedicating more and more of his time to raising awareness of the dire consequences of climate change.
During yesterday's virtual Security Council meeting, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson followed up Attenborough's warning with a call for action - to help the nations of the world to prepare for those consequences and work towards reducing global emissions to 'net zero'.
Do your bit for the environment
We each have a part to play in cutting emissions and turning the tide of climate change. Businesses are under particular pressure to minimise their impact on the environment - if you're unsure how to make your business greener, adopting an environmental management system (EMS) and gaining ISO 14001 certification is a good place to start.
NPT Management Systems can help you to assess your company's eco-friendliness, then plan and implement an EMS that helps you to improve in this area. Call 02380 659 867 today to discuss your organisation's requirements with an ISO 14001 specialist.
