Global coalition for net zero emissions taking shape: Guterres

United Nations, Nov 21 : UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that a global coalition for net zero emissions by 2050 is taking shape, while calling for more action on the climatic front.
“A great and growing global coalition for net zero emissions by 2050 is taking shape,” the UN chief told reporters at a hybrid press conference held at the UN headquarters in New York on Friday.
Guterres will meet G20 leaders online over the weekend, Xinhua news agency reported.
“By early next year, countries representing more than 65 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions – and more than 70 per cent of the world economy – are very likely to have made ambitious commitments to carbon neutrality,” he said.
“These commitments are sending a clear signal to markets, institutional investors and decision-makers,” added the Secretary-General.
The UN chief asked the developed countries to fulfil their climate finance commitments.
