UN’s Guterres demands end to ‘suicidal war against nature’
Al JazeeraUnless humanity acts now, ‘we will not have a livable planet,’ United Nations secretary-general warns, pleading for world leaders to ‘lead us out of this mess’. The world must cease its “senseless and suicidal war against nature”, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, singling out developed nations and their gluttonous use of the planet’s resources. Guterres said if global consumption were at the level of the world’s richest countries, “we would need more than three planet Earths”. Developed nations must at least double financial support to developing countries so they can adapt and build resilience to climate disruptions that are already happening, the UN chief said. Fossil fuel dependency Andersson said Russia’s war against Ukraine must not overshadow the climate crisis.
