UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on G20 countries to commit to doing more to fight the climate crisis as he spoke to reporters in New Delhi ahead of the grouping's leaders summit.
"The climate crisis is spiraling out of control. But G20 countries are in control," he said.
"Together, G20 countries are responsible for 80% of global emissions," Guterres noted. "Half-measures will not prevent full climate breakdown."
Guterres said that he is proposing a deal dubbed "Climate Security Pact," that would see big emitters make more efforts to cut emissions and "wealthier countries support emerging economies to achieve this."
The plan also calls on developed countries to reach net zero as close as possible to 2040, and emerging economies as close as possible to 2050.
