UN Secretary-General António Guterres once again had clear words. „The climate time bomb is ticking. But today’s IPCC report is a how-to guide to defuse the climate time bomb“. Guterres called on the G20 countries to step up their climate action efforts and provide emerging and developing countries with financial and technical resources to keep the 1.5-degree target „alive“. Specifically, he called for a coal phase-out by 2030 for OECD countries and globally by 2040. New oil and gas deposits should no longer be developed.
