Cop29 live: UN secretary general calls on G20 leaders to rescue stalled climate talks
António Guterres says succesful outcome at Cop29 is still ‘within reach’ but only with ‘leadership’ from world’s most powerful countries

The letter is, essentially, a plea. They point out that “emissions in developed countries continued to grow, leaving a diminishing slice of the global carbon budget for developing countries to meet their social and development needs, which corresponds to an enormous financial debt owed to developing countries by developed countries.”
