Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “stay the course” and its meaning is “continue doing something in spite of difficulties; to continue doing something till the end even though it is tough/challenging; work hard till the end to accomplish the task”.
Example Sentence: Scientists say while Australia’s 2030 climate commitment – a 43% cut in emissions compared with 2005 levels – is significantly improved…, it is short of being consistent with limiting heating to 1.5C. It has been found to be consistent with about 2C. Asked what his strong support for 1.5C meant for Australia’s commitments, the Australian climate change minister Bowen said: “I think it means we have got to stay the course. As we have always said, if we can do better than 43%, we will. But 43% is a big ask in eight years. It requires big changes.”
This phrase is present in Chris Bowen on Cop27’s urgent fight: ‘If we’re not trying to keep to 1.5C then what are we here for?’ and click here to read it.
