UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says that countries must start phasing out oil, coal and gas - not just emissions - and demands fossil fuel companies 'cease and desist' measures curbing climate progress
Antonio Guterres calls on the oil industry to put forward a credible plan for shifting to clean energy "and away from a product incompatible with human survival."Guterres called out companies for not yet reaching modest operational emissions reductions targets they have set..
"Fossil fuel companies must also cease and desist influence peddling and legal threats designed to knee-cap progress. I am thinking particularly of recent attempts to subvert net-zero alliances, invoking anti-trust legislation," Guterres said. Republican politicians in some US states pushing back against sustainability efforts have charged that companies in such climate alliances and using environmental, social and governance standards could be breaking anti-trust laws by aligning their policies.
