Super Typhoon Mangkhut, one of the strongest storms of the year, is forecast to hit the north of the Philippines by the weekend before threatening Hong Kong and Macau.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Speaking from the Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS) in San Francisco, Greenpeace International Executive Director Jennifer Morgan said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe have arrived at the moment of truth.
