He made the appeal at a press conference during the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) being held in Brazil’s Amazon city of Belem. The conference runs on Nov. 10-21, with climate negotiations currently in the final stage.<\/p>\n

Guterres noted that vulnerable communities can no longer wait for climate change mitigation, urging delegations to reach a consensus.<\/p>\n

The progress made in the decade since the 2015 Paris Agreement is not enough, according to Guterres. “We must move much faster — with a drastic cut on emissions.”<\/p>\n

It is essential that most countries reach peak emissions now, halve them this decade, achieve net-zero by 2050, and go net-negative thereafter, he said, while calling for “a just, orderly, and equitable transition away from fossil fuels — as agreed at COP28 in Dubai.”<\/p>\n

The UN chief emphasized the urgency of protecting ecosystems and the importance of financing to achieve the goals.<\/p>\n

It is imperative to halt and reverse deforestation by 2030, so that nature remains a shield and not a casualty, he said.<\/p>\n

Developed countries must lead in securing at least 300 billion U.S. dollars annually through 2035 to climate action, with a clear route to reaching 1.3 trillion dollars per year by that time, said Guterres.<\/p>\n

“We know that budgets are limited — but the financial system can unlock and multiply the available resources to achieve a much greater impact. Multilateral Development Banks must play a decisive role,” he said.<\/p>\n

The UN chief also urged political will to take the necessary decisions. “What has been failing is the political will,” he said. <\/p>\n
