This year has been masterclass in human destruction, UN chief tells Cop29
Briefly

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized the severity of climate breakdown, describing extreme weather events devastating families and communities, fueled fundamentally by human-induced climate change.
At the Cop29 climate summit, nations aim to secure $1 trillion annually by 2035 for developing countries to effectively combat greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate impacts.
Despite the absence of key world leaders, global discussions at Cop29 are crucial, focusing on ambitious emissions reductions, with the UK aiming for an 81% cut by 2035.
Guterres's address vividly illustrated the dire consequences of climate change, as people face relentless hurricanes, unbearable heat, destructive floods, and hunger amidst severe drought conditions.
