South Africa: UN Secretary-General Guterres Calls for Urgent Transition to Clean Energy
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has made a resounding call for the global community to “supercharge the clean energy age”, warning that the fossil fuel era is failing and that the world must seize the moment to accelerate a just, inclusive energy transition.
Delivering a special climate address titled, “A Moment of Opportunity” at the UN Headquarters in New York on the 22nd of July, Guterres urged world leaders, industries, and civil society to act decisively and collaboratively to fast-track the transition to renewable energy.
“Fossil fuels are running out of road. The sun is rising on a clean energy age. Just follow the money,” Guterres said.
