UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for a faster transition to renewable energy.
“Instead of slowing down the decarbonisation of the global economy, now is the time to accelerate the energy transition to a renewable energy future,” the UN chief said in his video message on Monday to the Geneva press conference launch of a new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
According to the IPCC, if warming isn’t controlled, some of the planet’s most crowded regions will become uninhabitable, Xinhua news agency reported.
The 3,600-page report focuses on the practical impacts of climate change on humans and nature.
