UN Secretary-General "Need to Accelerate Decarbonization of the World Economy" September 25, 4:33
At a meeting on climate variability measures held at the UN General Assembly, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, "We need to accelerate the decarbonization of the world economy," and subsidized governments for industries that produce fossil fuels. He called for quitting money and spending money on job creation for the poor.
This is an online meeting hosted by Secretary-General António Guterres on the 24th, taking advantage of the opportunity of the summit speech of the UN General Assembly, including the leaders of each country such as President Pinella of Chile and Prime Minister Johnson of the United Kingdom, as well as major companies such as Microsoft. Corporate executives participated.
In this, UN Secretary-General António Guterres noted that the EU and China had recently announced that they would raise their greenhouse gas reduction targets, praising them as encouraging and advocating greenhouse gas emissions. He hoped that all countries would propose a new action plan by the end of the year to achieve the goal of halving the number by 2030 and virtually zero by 2050.
"Reconstruction from the new coronavirus should accelerate the decarbonization of the global economy. Support for industries that produce fossil fuels that pollute the air cannot be called reconstruction," Guterres said. He called on governments to stop subsidizing industries that produce fossil fuels and to fund the creation of jobs for the poor.
