“It’s climate crunch time,” he said in a special address on climate change delivered at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
Echoing previous speeches, Guterres called on fossil fuel companies to boost their clean energy investments and for financial institutions “to stop bankrolling fossil fuel destruction and start investing in a global renewables revolution.” Then he went a step further by urging advertising, media and big tech companies to “stop taking fossil fuel advertising” and countries to “ban advertising from fossil fuel companies,” given that “many in the fossil fuel industry have shamelessly greenwashed, even as they have sought to delay climate action — with lobbying, legal threats, and massive ad campaigns.”
