Humanity is in 'the fight of our lives' as climate change intensifies droughts, floods and heatwaves, UN chief Antonio Guterres warns at UN COP27 summit in Egypt
UN chief Antonio Guterres calls for a"historic" deal between rich countries and emerging economies that would aim to reduce emissions and keep the temperature rise to above the pre-industrial era.
In the midst of a barrage of international crises battering economies and shaking international relations – from the Covid pandemic and Russia's attacks on Ukraine to weather extremes – Guterres said on Monday the international community faces a stark choice. He said the target should be to provide renewable and affordable energy for all, calling on the top emitters, the United States and China, in particular to step up their efforts.
Meanwhile, the global community is lagging behind both on efforts to cut planet-heating emissions and payments to vulnerable countries to help them build resilience and green their economies.
