"All countries must do their part in the fight against climate change. But the G20 must lead," UN Secretary-General António Guterres said at the opening ceremony of the World Leaders Climate Action Summit at COP29 on November 12, APA reports.
He stated that these countries are at the forefront when it comes to harmful emissions into the atmosphere: "They are the largest emitters, with the greatest capacities and responsibilities.
They must bring their technological know-how together – with developed countries supporting emerging economies. Every nation must have the tools and resources for climate action.
And the United Nations will support that effort every step of the way. Second, you must do more to protect your people from the ravages of the climate crisis. The most vulnerable are being abandoned to climate extremes. The gap between adaptation needs and finance could reach up to $359 billion a year by 2030."
