To tackle the climate crisis, „everything, everywhere, all at once“ must happen, warns António Guterres.

The government’s new climate plan is being criticized as lacking innovation and not providing any new funding. In the trade agreement between the EU and the Mercosur states, there is currently – again – quarrel over sustainability issues. It is a back-and-forth over a treaty that was actually already considered negotiated, but is highly controversial.
