US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on the United Nations Security Council to play a vital role in combatting climate change and recognize it as an opportunity to create green infrastructure and jobs to support it on Thursday in New York City.

Blinken called on the Security Council to mandate that UN field missions incorporate the effects of climate change into their planning and implementation, as was done in the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq.

“Right here in New York City, where we’re gathered today, earlier this month, a punishing storm caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ida killed dozens of people, including a two-year-old boy, and inflicted tens of billions of dollars in damage. More than three inches of rain fell in Central Park in a single hour, breaking a record set only a few weeks earlier. Look at any one of our countries. You will see record-breaking extreme weather events like this. The climate crisis isn’t coming. It’s already here. And clear patterns are emerging and its impact, the consequences are falling disproportionately on vulnerable and low income populations,” remarked Blinken during the meeting.

He also proposed that the UN more fully integrate climate-related data in all its conflict mediation and conflict prevention efforts.​
