United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres opened the annual high-level debate at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday.
“The fossil fuel age has failed. If fossil fuel companies want to be part of the solution, they must lead the transition to renewable energy,” Guterres asserted. ” Developed countries must reach net zero as close as possible to 2040, and emerging economies as close as possible to 2050. Developed countries must finally deliver the $100 billion for developing country climate action, as promised; And replenish the Green Climate Fund, as promised.
Guterres heartened climate alarmism advocates, asserting they were “on the right side of history” and promising, “I won’t give up this fight for our lives.” Guterres also took some time to disparage his own organization as “stuck in time,” particularly the United Nations Security Council.
“The world has changed, our institutions have not,” he added. “We cannot effectively address problems as they are if institutions do not reflect the world as it is.”
