”We have 'failed' on our promise to keep warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. This will be a huge cost and a cause of devastation for all nations of the world,” Secretary-General Guterres said in a meeting with world leaders in Brazil on the sidelines of the COP30 conference.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Thursday that the world has “failed” in its pledge to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
"We have 'failed' on our promise to keep warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius," he told world leaders in Brazil on the sidelines of the COP30 summit. "This will be a huge cost and a disaster for all nations."
"Decades of delay and denial mean we have failed to meet the Paris Agreement's most ambitious goal, to keep the temperature increase below 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels," Guterres told a leaders' summit in Belém ahead of the COP30 climate talks.
He added, "The world can still reduce the damage through swift action, such as phasing out fossil fuels, but this requires everyone's readiness."
