Developed nations emitted maximum green house emissions: UN chief
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said that developed economies are responsible for the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere throughout history.
Guterres made the remarks on Saturday in a press briefing in Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi during his visit to the flood-affected areas of the country, Xinhua news agency reported.
“Those impacts are skyrocketing,” he said, adding that “people living in high climatic vulnerability conditions, including in South Asia are 15 times more likely to die from climate impacts.”
Nearly half of humanity is now in this category and the overwhelming majority is in the developing world, Guterres said.
