Guterres expressed deep concern about the current state of climate change, describing it as a terrifying reality that marks only the beginning of a larger crisis.

The unprecedented global temperatures, driven by the burning of fossil fuels, have led to severe weather patterns and intensified weather extremes.

He called on political leaders to take immediate and decisive action to combat climate change. Added, the urgency for action is underlined by the unbreathable air, unbearable heat, and the unacceptable level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction.

The UN Secretary-General stressed that time is running out, and there is no room for hesitancy, excuses, or waiting for others to act first.

Stated that the situation demands swift and bold leadership from policymakers to address the pressing climate emergency.
