Today, Tuesday, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, called to move from the phase of discussing the abandonment of fossil fuels to the organization, financing and implementation of this process, and emphasized the need to speed up the transition to clean energy sources.
This came during a speech he delivered at a meeting titled "COP30 Presidency Roadmap for a Just and Orderly Transition from Fossil Fuels in Energy Systems," as part of the COP31 climate conference held in the Turkish state of Antalya.
Guterres stressed that accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels is necessary to limit the increase in global temperature beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial revolution levels, and to build cleaner and safer economies.
He pointed out that reliance on fossil fuels imposes heavy economic and security costs, and that fluctuations in oil prices harm families, companies and governments, and emphasized the need to expand clean energy while taking into account the differences in the capabilities and circumstances of countries.
