The latest United Nations Climate Summit has opened in Madrid with warnings that the coming year will be critical in the battle against rising temperatures. Ahead of the meeting, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that the world is at the point of no return. He told the BBC the global response to climate change to date have been utterly inadequate. Matt McGrath reports.

As the diplomats begin their talks, a report from Save the Children estimates that thirty-three million people in east and southern Africa have been driven to hunger by what they term climate shocks, droughts, floods and the impacts of the strongest ever cyclone to hit the continent. To limit these consequences in the future, experts argue the world needs to set out plans for dramatic climate action during the next twelve months. This meeting in Madrid is the first step on that road.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of Mexico has defended his approach to tackling drug cartels despite an upsurge in violence that saw more than twenty people killed in a single incident on Saturday.

最新一届联合国气候峰会在马德里开幕，会议警告称未来一年将是对抗气温上升的关键一年。在会议开始之前，联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯警告称，世界已经到了无法回头的地步。他告诉BBC，迄今为止，对全球对气候变化的应对是完全不够的。以下是马特·麦格拉思的报道。

就在外交官们开始会谈的时候，来自救助儿童会的一份报告估计，东非和南部非洲有3300万人因为气候冲击，如干旱、洪水以及非洲大陆有史以来最强烈的飓风的影响而挨饿。为了减少这些现象对未来的影响，专家们认为，世界各国需要在未来12个月内采取行动应对不断恶劣的气候。这次马德里会议将是该进程的第一步。

尽管周六发生了一起导致20多人丧生的暴力事件，墨西哥总统安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔还是为自己打击贩毒集团的方法进行了辩护。
