U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says the world’s efforts to stop climate change have been “utterly inadequate" so far and warns that “the point of no return is no longer over the horizon.”UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres speaks during a news conference at the COP25 summit in Madrid, Spain, Sunday, Dec. 1, 2019. This year’s international talks on tackling climate change were meant to be a walk in the park compared to previous instalments.
He noted that the world has the scientific knowledge and the technical means to limit global warming, but “what is lacking is political will.” Guterres cited mounting scientific evidence for the impact that man-made emissions of greenhouse gases are already having on the planet, including record temperatures and melting polar ice.
Guterres said growing demands from citizens, particularly young people, have shown there is widespread desire for climate action. “But we also see clearly that the world's largest emitters are not pulling their weight. And without them, our goal is unreachable,” he said. Organizers expect around 29,000 visitors, including some 50 heads of state and government for Monday’s opening, as well as scientists, seasoned negotiators and activists during the two-week meeting.
