ROME (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned on Friday that the world was "careening towards climate catastrophe" and said leaders of the Group of 20 wealthy nations must do more in many areas to help poorer countries.

Speaking on the eve of a summit of G20 leaders, Guterres told reporters there were "dangerous levels of mistrust" between major powers. He said he hoped the forthcoming two-day meeting would help overcome that.
