UNITED NATIONS, Sept 25 (Xinhua): Global leaders have presented a bold climate ambition and urgent demands at the Climate Ambition Roundtable convened by United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, capping a week of major announcements from China, the European Union and many global businesses.
The UN chief called for governments, businesses, civil and international organisations to develop a transition plan to net-zero emissions, and boost ambition in finance and adaption as an equal priority to cutting emissions, so as to limit global temperature rise to 1.5.
