ABU DHABI, June 30 (AFP): UN chief Antonio Guterres said climate-related devastation was striking the planet on a weekly basis and warned Sunday that urgent action must be taken to avoid a catastrophe.
"We are here because the world is facing a grave climate emergency," Guterres told a two-day Abu Dhabi Climate Meeting to prepare for a Climate Action Summit in New York in September.
"Climate disruption is happening now… It is progressing even faster than the world's top scientists have predicted," the UN secretary general said.
