The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has warned that “humanity is on the highway to climate hell”.
Guterres was addressing world leaders including South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the opening of the COP27 UN climate summit in Egypt on Monday.Guterres said the fight for a “liveable planet will be won or lost in this decade”. “The war in Ukraine, other conflicts have caused so much bloodshed and violence, and their dramatic impacts all over the world. But we cannot accept that our attention is not focused on climate change.”
“We must of course work together to support peace efforts and the tremendous suffering. But climate change is on a different timeline and a different scale, it is the defining issue of our age, it is the central challenge of our century. It is unacceptable, outrageous and self-defeating to put it on the back burner.”
