Guterres states limiting global warming to 1.5°C is “still possible”
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated, in the General Assembly climate summit held on September 24th, that capping global temperature rise at 1.5°C by the end of the century is “still possible”, according to AL24 News.
In his speech, Guterres urged countries to prioritise climate action policies, outlining five priority areas — clean energy transition, deep methane reductions, forest protection, cleaner heavy industry and climate justice.
Guterres called for “dramatic emissions cuts” to accelerate the energy transition, one of the key points in the agenda of the COP30 climate conference set for November in Belém, Brazil.
