"Stand and deliver," asserts UN chief at COP27 climate summit

Sharm El-Sheikh: On Nov 17, negotiators at the COP27 climate summit in Egypt must overcome a "breakdown in trust" between rich and poor nations to deliver a deal to save the world from the worst of global warming, U.N. chief Antonio Guterres stated. "We are at crunch time in the negotiations," he said. "Global emissions are at their highest level in history - and rising. Climate impacts are decimating economies and societies - and growing. We know what we need to do - and we have the tools and resources to get it done," he added.
