Antonio Guterres at COP29
Excellencies and friends,
The sound you hear is the ticking clock.
We are in the final countdown to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
And time is not on our side.
. . . .
In this crucial period, you and your governments must be guided by a clear truth:
Climate finance is not charity, it’s an investment.
Climate action is not optional, it’s an imperative.
Both are indispensable: to a liveable world for all humanity. And a prosperous future for every nation on Earth.
The clock is ticking. I count on you.
