BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 12. G20 are the largest emitters, with the greatest capacities and responsibilities, said UN Secretary-General António Guterres as he addressed the COP29 World Leaders' Climate Action Summit in Baku, Trend reports.
"All countries must do their part. But the G20 must lead. They are the largest emitters, with the greatest capacities and responsibilities. They must bring their technological know-how together – with developed countries supporting emerging economies," he said.
Guterres pointed out that every nation must have the tools and resources for climate action.
"And the United Nations will support that effort every step of the way: We’re supporting developing countries with new NDCs through the Climate Promise initiative; And striving for justice in the renewables revolution through our Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals. But ultimately, only you can deliver, on national ambition and action. Only you can beat the clock on 1.5 degrees," the SecGen added.
