Guterres disappoints with G20 decisions
UN Secretary General Guterres was disappointed with the climate statement at the G20 summit. Gutteres wrote on Twitter that he was leaving Rome with unfulfilled hopes – but at least they were not buried. At the end of their summit in the Italian capital, the major economic powers agreed to reduce global warming to 1.5 degrees. They did not provide clear guidelines on how and from when the goal should be achieved. In addition, it remained open when the G20 countries wanted to become climate neutral. They are responsible for 80 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. | 10/31/2021 7:30 p.m.

Over the next two weeks, representatives from around 200 countries will be negotiating in Glasgow on the further implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement. It has set itself the goal of limiting global warming to a maximum of two degrees compared to the pre-industrial age. | 10/31/2021 7:30 p.m.
