UN Chief Delivers Final Climate Press Conference at COP31, Calls for Urgent Action on Global Warming
UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivered his final press conference at the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, Türkiye, on November 13, calling for immediate and drastic action to tackle global warming. Marking his final COP appearance as UN chief, Guterres warned that the world is heading towards a prolonged overshoot of the 1.5°C global warming threshold, with current climate commitments putting temperatures on course to rise beyond 2.5°C by the end of the century. He urged countries to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and expand investment in clean energy. Guterres also called on wealthy nations to provide greater financial support to developing countries facing the worst impacts of climate change. Stressing that climate action is essential for global peace, development and justice, he urged world leaders to move beyond promises and deliver concrete results.
