Guterres: We have entered a new era of climate extremes
New York, November 9 (Hibya) - United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the effects of El Niño are coinciding with a planet already overheated by climate change, calling for faster reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and an accelerated just transition away from fossil fuels.
UN Secretary-General Guterres commented on the latest report published by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
Guterres said, "We have entered a new era of climate extremes. A super-sized El Niño is colliding with a planet already overheated by climate change."
He stressed that leaders must reduce greenhouse gas emissions more rapidly, accelerate a just transition away from fossil fuels, and provide vulnerable countries with the financing and protection support they need.
